Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Provide patient with implements for communication. Rapidly completing care and provision of solitary activities does not reduce social isolation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The cilia are fine hairlike processes on the outer surfaces of small cells that produce a motion that sweeps the debris toward the nasal cavity. Large particles that are swept away stimulate the cough reflex, but not the cilia themselves.
