Question

What are the first 2 steps of MR. SOPA ventilation corrective steps that often solve the problem?

a) Mask adjustment and reposition head
b) Monitor and reassess the heart rate
c) Suction mouth and reassess heart rate
d) Chest movement and repeat stimulation

Answer 1

The first two steps of MR. SOPA, which is an acronym used in neonatal resuscitation for ineffective mask ventilation, are Mask adjustment to ensure a proper seal and Reposition head to open the airway.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to refer to ventilation corrective steps often used in medical situations, potentially related to the management of airway and breathing during resuscitation or during treatment of sleep apnea, rather than a direct reference to MR. SOPA. However, MR. SOPA is an acronym used in neonatal resuscitation to remember the sequence of steps to take when mask ventilation is ineffective. In this context, 'M' stands for Mask adjustment to ensure a proper seal and 'R' stands for Reposition head to open the airway.

While the question may have been intended to refer to sleep apnea and the treatment involving CPAP machines, the exact steps of MR. SOPA suggest acute medical management, more aligned with neonatal or pediatric resuscitation practices.
