The nurse encourages the client to expectorate sputum rather than swallowing it. What is the rationale for this direction?
 
  1. Sputum contains bacteria that should be expectorated.
  2. Swallowing sputum is dangerous to the system.
  3. The nurse should view the sputum for quality and quantity.
  4. The client is likely to aspirate the sputum while attempting to swallow it.
