Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The pharynx is divided into three areas: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. The epiglottis is a protective flap that covers the trachea during swallowing to prevent foreign matter from entering the respiratory system. The trachea and esophagus are both located in the pharynx.

Ethnocentrismthe belief that one's own culture is the best and the only acceptable wayis a barrier in the client's nursing care. Prejudice and intolerance are based on preconceived notions about certain groups of people, and stereotyping refers to classifying or categorizing people and believing that all those belonging to a certain group are alike.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
