Drag & drop would not allow gurgling & wheezing to be placed in their correct positions, try as I might. Maybe just a glitch on phone app? I’ll try computer next time.
Chris Mead says
Same for me.

I have not been able to replicate this problem. Can you tell me what type of device you are using and what browser? If this happens to anyone else reading this, please comment with the type of device and browser you are using.
Kind regards, Jeff

Thank you for letting me know. When we update with the new guidelines in 2021, we are going to change the format of the questions like this. Kind regards, Jeff

OK the drag and drop works much better on a computer. Does not work easily on my phone.
Jeffrey Johnson says
Don’t quite understand the drag and drop questions. Help please.
Jeff with admin. says
The drag and drop questions can be a bit cumbersome when using touchscreen on a phone. It can be done depending on the device, but at times the answers will not drop in the position desired. There are only a few of these types of questions.
If you touch and hold each block and then drag it on the touchscreen, it should work.
Kind regards,
Jeff
James Allen says
I found that dragging just a little past the desired box seem to do better with my iPad. Thanks

KAREN ANN SCHNEIDER says
In the book it says that CPAP is an advanced intervention. Airway adjuncts are under simple measures. I believe this answer is wrong.
Jeff with admin. says
The question reads: “Simple measures for maintaining airway patency include all of the following EXCEPT which intervention?”
This would mean that the exception to simple airway measures is CPAP.
Kind regards,
Jeff
