Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015
The nurse is teaching a group of teens with asthma how the structures of the upper respiratory tract protect against infections. Which statement by a teen demonstrates that teaching has been successful?


1. “The passages of the nose and throat filter, warm, and humidify air when I inhale.”
2. “The structures of the upper respiratory tract trap particulate matter and pathogens, preventing them from going down into my lungs.”
3. “The upper respiratory tract is lined with tiny hairs that move back and forth, pushing foreign matter away from the lungs.”
4. “Mucous membranes inside the nose produce allergens that neutralize pathogens.”
5. “The saliva in my mouth contains cells that can eat bacteria.”
