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.

Which of the following statements about Bacteria is FALSE?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Oxygen is necessary for the growth of all bacteria.

Explanation:

This statement is false, because not all bacteria require oxygen to produce energy and grow. The bacteria that need oxygen to grow are called aerobic bacteria. But there are also bacteria that can produce energy without oxygen, these are called anaerobic. Some bacteria can adapt to both environments, these are called facultative anaerobes bacteria.

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. What will happen if the cloud does not have enough mass?
Westkost [7]

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. A star forms when the mass of the dust cloud is large and has enough hydrogen to start creating a protostar and sustain the nuclear fusion reaction within the core of the protostar. If the dust cloud is not dense enough, then the star formation does not take place, rather a nebula is formed, example the Horse-head nebula. So the answer is (B) A star will not form.
