The question is not complete, the complete question is:

The nurse asks a patient to say "ahh" while performing suctioning. What is the rationale behind this intervention?

To facilitate breathing

To elevate the bronchial passage

To assist in opening the glottis

To permit the flow of secretions into the mouth

Answer:

Making the sounds such as "ahh" helps in opening the glottis to allow entry of the catheter into the trachea. Making sounds such as "ahh" may not help in breathing. Turning the head of the patient to the side elevates the bronchial passage on the contrary side.  

Continuous coughing may allow the flow of secretions into the mouth from the upper respiratory tract.

Drag each label to the correct location on the chart. Classify each process as weathering or erosion. PLEASE HELP me (I'm stuck)
Andreas93 [3]

Lets do numbering of the labels to make labelling clear.

1. The Colorado River carves land in Arizona to form the Grand Canyon.

2. Cracks form in a sandstone wall surrounding a house.

3. A marble statue near the science museum is changing color due to rainfall.

4. After a rainstorm, soil and rock pieces litter the roadways.

5. The sand dunes in the Sahara Desert are changing shape.

Answer:

Weathering:

2. Cracks form in a sandstone wall surrounding a house.

3.A marble statue near the science museum is changing color due to rainfall.

Erosion:

1. The Colorado River carves land in Arizona to form the Grand Canyon.

4. After a rainstorm, soil and rock pieces litter the roadways.

5. The sand dunes in the Sahara Desert are changing shape.

Explanation:

Weathering and erosion, in both the processes rocks are broken down into particles but both the processes are different from each other. Weathering can be physical, chemical or biological process in which rock particles degrade without any movement while erosion is purely a movement of sediments in which particles move from one place to another under the influence of water and wind.

So, on the basis of this difference we can classify each label to the correct location:

<u>Weathering (no movement of particles after degradation):</u>

2. Cracks in a sandstone wall of a house.

3. Changing color of marble statue due to rainfall.

<u>Erosion (Movement of particles from one place to another):</u>

1. Formation of Grand Canyon, when the Colorado River carves land in Arizona.

4. Soil and rock pieces litter on roadways after rainstorms.

5. Changing shape of dunes in sahara desert.
