Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Airway always takes priority. Airway must be assessed first and any problems resolved if present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Viscous lidocaine gargles or mouthwashes are sometimes prescribed for clients with stomatitis and pain. However, the numbing effect can lead to choking or mouth burns from hot food. This client already has difficulty swallowing, so this medication is not appropriate. Therefore, the nurse should intervene when the student prepares to administer this preparation. The other options are correct actions.
