Develop as a result of the loss of cellular regulation, which can disrupt breathing, eating, facial
appearance, and speech. Usually squamous cell carcinomas and are slow-growing tumors that are
generally curable when diagnosed and treated early. These cancers typically metastasize into the
lymph nodes, muscle, and bone. correct answers Head and neck cancer
Develop due to a loss of cellular regulation. The onset is slow, and symptoms resemble sinusitis.
Malignant tumors are rare but are more common in adults with environmental exposure. correct
answers Nasal and sinus cancer
Exposure to dust from wood, textiles, leather, flour, nickel, chromium, mustard gas, and radium
Smoking correct answers Nasal and sinus cancer causes
Contact sports
Fights
Motor vehicle accidents correct answers Nasal fracture causes
Trauma
Hypertension
Leukemia
Inflammation
Tumor
Decreased humidity
Nose blowing/picking
Chronic cocaine use
Nasal procedure correct answers Epistaxis causes
Can involve the mandible, maxillary, orbital, and nasal bones and the side of the face. Trauma to
the mandible is classified as Le Fort I, II, and III. Le Fort III can result in extensive bleeding and
bruising and result in airway obstruction that impacts gas exchange. correct answers Facial
trauma

Fights
Motor vehicle accidents correct answers Facial trauma causes
, A condition in which the patient experiences cyclical patterns of breathing disruption for periods
of 10 seconds that occurs at least five times in an hour due to upper airway obstruction. These
periods decrease gas exchange, which can lead to an acid-base imbalance. Patients who suffer
from this condition also suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness, inability to concentrate, and
irritability. The most common cause is the soft palate or tongue. correct answers Obstructive
sleep apnea
Obesity
Large uvula
Short neck
Smoking
Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
Oropharyngeal edema correct answers Obstructive sleep apnea causes
Damage to the larynx that impacts the patient's ability of adequate gas exchange. Inadequate gas
exchange can result in an acid-base imbalance. correct answers Laryngeal trauma
Crushing injury
Direct blow to the larynx
Fractures
Prolonged intubation correct answers Laryngeal trauma causes
Blockage of the upper airway that prevents gas exchange, can be life-threatening if not
recognized and treated. correct answers Upper airway obstruction
Tongue edema
