Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Mechanical defense mechanisms are physical barriers that prevent microorganisms from entering the body or expel them before they multiply. Examples include intact skin and mucous membranes. Antibodies, enzymes and secretions are all examples of chemical defense mechanisms.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Displacement above the cardiac sphincter is a possible cause of a poorly draining nasogastric tube. An unplugged vent will not cause poor drainage because often nurses remove the cap and restore the port to atmospheric pressure. A drainage container that is filled beyond capacity causes poor draining. Excessive suction does not cause poor drainage.
