Question 8 of 10

8. Question

Which of the following does not places a child at risk for respiratory failure?

Many viruses and bacteria to which adults have developed immunity are susceptible to infection in children, particularly infants.
Children's upper and lower airways are narrower, making them more susceptible to mucosal swelling, secretions, or foreign bodies.
The thoracic cage of young children is much more flexible than that of adults, resulting in less support for lung volume maintenance.
A family history of respiratory failure places an infant at great risk of respiratory failure.
