Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has asthma and is discussing the structures of the pharynx. which of the following structures should the nurse include in the discussion?
larynx to lung bronchi
olfactory receptors and cilia
the nasal cavities and the larynx
bronchioles to terminal bronchioles

Explanation:

The pharynx is a muscular tube that connects the nasal cavities (nasopharynx part) to the larynx (laryngopharynx part). The larynx to lung bronchi is part of the lower respiratory tract beyond the pharynx. Olfactory receptors and cilia are mainly in the nasal cavity (not the main structure of the pharynx itself in terms of its anatomical connections). Bronchioles to terminal bronchioles are also lower - level respiratory structures.

Answer:

The nasal cavities and the larynx
