Influenza: Case Study #1

Question 2 Feedback

B) Drink lots of fluids.

Correct. Please choose another answer.

Maintaining hydration helps maintain the "tracheal toilet." (Pulmonary mucous secretions amount to about 200 cc/day which are pushed up the trachea by the ciliated epithelium and swallowed.) The mucous flow helps protect the lungs.
