The nurse determines that the student who has been instructed about lung function and smoking requires additional teaching when the student says
"An older person may breathe more shallowly than a younger person.
"Smoking only once in a while will not make a person addicted to smoking."
"An upright position will help someone breathe with less effort."
A physically fit athlete breathes more slowly than a sedentary person."
The Correct Answer is B
