Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Aerosol therapy encourages spontaneous coughing. It also improves breathing and helps to raise sputum for diagnostic purposes by loosening secretions. Postural drainage is a positioning technique that promotes gravity drainage of secretions from various lobes or segments of the lungs. Aerosol therapy does not prevent lung infections. Aerosol therapy also does not produce mucus; the body continuously produces mucus.

Answer to Question 2

D
There are three essential elements of hand washing: soap, water, and friction. Of these elements, friction is the most vital.
