The nurse is teaching community education about the major functions of the upper respiratory tract. What will the best plan by the nursing instructor include?
 
  1. Inward airflow from the trachea branches off to the two bronchi.
  2. The nose warms the air before it reaches the lungs.
  3. The nasal mucosa is the first line of immunological defense.
  4. Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system constricts arterioles in the nose.
  5. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system constricts arterioles in the nose.

Question 2

A client has been prescribed a liquid medication to be taken 15 mLtid. How should the nurse instruct the client to take this medication?
 
  1. Carefully measure the medication using any teaspoon and take one teaspoon three times per day.
  2. Carefully measure the medication using any tablespoon available and take one tablespoon three times per day.
  3. Carefully measure using a medical dosing device and take 15 mL, which equals one tablespoon three times per day.
  4. Carefully measure using a medical dosing device and take 15 mL, which equals one teaspoon three times per day.

Answer to Question 1

2,3,5
Rationale 1: The trachea and bronchi are part of the lower respiratory tract.
Rationale 2: The nose warms the air before it reaches the lungs.
Rationale 3: The nasal mucosa is the first line of immunological defense.
Rationale 4: Activation of the sympathetic nervous system, not the parasympathetic nervous system, constricts arterioles in the nose.
Rationale 5: Activation of the sympathetic nervous system constricts arterioles in the nose.
Global Rationale: The nose warms the air before it reaches the lungs. The nasal mucosa is the first line of immunological defense. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system constricts arterioles in the nose. The trachea and bronchi are part of the lower respiratory tract. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system, not the parasympathetic nervous system, constricts arterioles in the nose.
