Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is important that older adults realize that dentures still necessitate maintenance and occasional readjustments. Brushing is still necessary, as is visiting the dentist. The diet of adults with dentures is not noted to be restricted to soft and pureed foods.

Answer to Question 2

A
