question 20 (2.5 points)
in which of the following are the pharyngeal (adenoid) tonsils located?
○ larynx
○ trachea
○ oropharynx
○ nasopharynx

Explanation:

Question 19

Aspirin use in children with viral respiratory infections is contraindicated due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but serious condition affecting the liver and brain. Respiratory arrest, Cushing’s syndrome, and heart failure are not associated with this context.

Pharyngeal (adenoid) tonsils are located in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the pharynx behind the nose. The larynx is the voice box, the trachea is the windpipe, and the oropharynx is the middle part of the pharynx (behind the mouth), so these are incorrect.

Answer:

C. Reye’s syndrome
