The pediatric nurse caring for patients with respiratory disorders teaches the student nurse the functions of the respiratory system, including:
A) oxygen passes from the larynx to the pharynx.
B) air passes through the trachea into the bronchus.
C) the bronchus divides into smaller branches or acinus.
D) oxygen exchange with the bloodstream occurs in the veins.

A) resilience is defined as a predispositional factor, or set of factors, that makes possible a disorder state.
B) children of depressed parents have not been shown to be more prone to depression, anxiety, or behavioral problems.
C) vulnerability toward maladjustment or resilience in the face of adversity may be passed on from generation to generation.
D) vulnerability is defined as a dynamic developmental process reflecting evidence of positive adaptation despite significant life adversity.
