    2. Infection of the sinus cavities often occurs due to __________ and __________ of the sinus drainage pathways.

    • Inflammation and obstruction

    • Coughing and allergies

    • Inflammation and coughing

    • Obstruction and allergies

    Correct Answer
    A. Inflammation and obstruction
    Explanation
    Infection of the sinus cavities often occurs due to inflammation and obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways. Inflammation can cause the sinus cavities to become swollen and irritated, making it difficult for mucus to drain properly. This can create a breeding ground for bacteria or viruses, leading to infection. Obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways can also prevent mucus from draining effectively, allowing it to build up and become infected. Therefore, both inflammation and obstruction play a role in the development of sinus infections.

    1. Cotton swabs are a safe and easy way to clean wax from inside your ears.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Cleaning wax from inside your ears with cotton swabs is not safe. The ear canal is delicate and using cotton swabs can push the wax further into the ear, leading to blockages or potential damage to the eardrum. It is recommended to avoid using cotton swabs for ear cleaning and instead consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective methods of earwax removal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system and are located in the throat. They help filter out bacteria and other harmful substances that are ingested through the mouth. This helps prevent infections and keeps the body healthy. Therefore, the statement that tonsils and adenoids filter bacteria out of what people swallow is true.
