Question 2
While assessing the airway of a pediatric patient, you will notice that it is different than that of an adult. Which of the following is one of those differences?
A) The chest wall is softer, making it easier for the chest to expand.
B) The tongue is smaller, taking up less room in the mouth and allowing larger objects to occlude the airway.
C) The cricoid cartilage is less developed, reducing the possibility that it can be completely occluded.
D) The trachea is smaller, softer, and more flexible, allowing it to be more easily obstructed.
