Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Several common drugs, including some general anesthetics and narcotic-analgesics, can depress mucociliary transport.

Examples include foreign bodies, tumors, and congenital or acquired thoracic anomalies such as kyphoscoliosis. Internal obstruction also can occur with mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory changes, or bronchospasm, further narrowing the lumen.
