An instructor is teaching students about providing oral care on an unconscious patient. The teacher realizes that additional instruction is required when a student says:
1. I should assess the mouth for lesions and dried mouth secretions known as sordes.
2. I must position the patient to minimize any chance of aspiration of fluids.
3. I should use lemon-glycerin swabs to clean the lips and inside of the mouth.
4. I should apply a water-soluble lip balm to keep the lips moist.

4. Pressing on either side of the prosthesis until it pops out.
