Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The IV route provides an immediate effect and drugs given in this manner cannot be retrieved once they have been delivered. Consequently, this route of drug administration is the most dangerous because of the significant risk for injury to the client. This risk supersedes the possibility of fluid imbalances, which can usually be resolved. Impaired skin integrity is not specifically associated with the IV route.

Answer to Question 2

D
The conducting airways are lined with cilia to filter and trap particles from entering the lungs.
