A. Correct. This is an example of a TEP valve.

B. Correct. This is an external vibrator (like an electric razor) and can mimic the vibrations of the removed larynx.

C. Incorrect. This one-way valve does not allow expiration. In the case of a laryngectomee, there is only one-way to exhale. Blocking this causes suffocation.

D. Correct.

E. Correct. These tubes are not usually inserted into the laryngectomy stoma but can be if required. Situations where they can be used include:

After initial stoma formation
If regular suction is required
To connect to a ventilator or breathing circuit
