Correct Answer is ["A"]

Explanation

A. Incomplete expirations: Age-related decreased lung elasticity impairs full expiration, trapping air in the lungs.
B. Decreased oxygen saturation: Age-related changes in lung tissue reduce gas exchange efficiency.
C. Impaired cilia: Decreased ciliary function reduces the ability to clear mucus and pathogens from the airway.
D. Increased elasticity in thorax and respiratory tissues: Elasticity decreases with aging, reducing lung compliance.

A. The client is grasping his abdomen. B. The client is coughing. C. The client cannot speak. D. The client is hyperventilating.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The client is grasping his abdomen: Grasping the abdomen may indicate pain or cramping, not necessarily airway obstruction.
B. The client is coughing: Effective coughing suggests that the airway is partially open and the client is moving air, meaning abdominal thrusts are not required.
C. The client cannot speak: Inability to speak or cough is a sign of complete airway obstruction, indicating the need for abdominal thrusts.
D. The client is hyperventilating: Rapid breathing is not a typical sign of choking and does not warrant abdominal thrusts.
