SYSTEM) A 28-year-old woman disturbs a hive of bees while she is gardening. She promptly is stung on the face, neck, and arms. Knowing that he is hypersensitive to bee stings, a friend takes him to a local hospital, where he is admitted in a state of shock with extreme difficulty in breathing. Because there is edema of the larynx, it is decided to do an immediate tracheostomy. Why is edema of the larynx likely to obstruct the airway? During a tracheostomy, what structures does the knife cut

Category: Physiological Adaptation The nurse is monitoring a 78-year-old male patient who has experienced a significant cerebrovascular accident resulting in extensive brain damage.
