Question

which is an example of a mild foreign - body airway obstruction?

inability to speak or cry

wheezing between coughs

high - pitched noise while inhaling

cyanosis (blue lips or skin)

Explanation:

Mild foreign - body airway obstruction often presents with some air exchange. Wheezing between coughs indicates that there is still some airflow and the obstruction is not complete. Inability to speak or cry (complete obstruction), high - pitched noise while inhaling (more severe partial obstruction with significant airway narrowing), and cyanosis (a sign of severe lack of oxygen due to near - complete or complete obstruction) are more indicative of severe airway problems.

Answer:

Wheezing between coughs
