Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Heavy smoking does not defend the body from microorganisms; it destroys the cilia in the nose that helps to filter organisms.
Rationale 2: Moisturizing the skin can allow microorganisms to enter the body.
Rationale 3: Breakdown of the skin can allow microorganisms to enter the body.
Rationale 4: Voiding quantity sufficient is a barrier that helps the body defend itself against microorganisms. The act of voiding flushes those organisms that might try to enter the body through the urinary meatus.
