Quiz :As a result of dehydration, a patient's epithelial cells are producing
insufficient amounts of mucus. Consequently, the patient's mucociliary blanket
is compromised. Which of the following changes would a care provider most

amounts of bacteria in the lungs. The primary role of the mucociliary blanket is
to trap foreign particles and bacteria and thus prevent their entry into the

blanket, but the opposite relationship is unlikely. Decreased oxygen and
increased carbon dioxide levels may eventually result, but not as a direct or
immediate consequence.
