In the book it says that CPAP is an advanced intervention. Airway adjuncts are under simple measures. I believe this answer is wrong.

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
