Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to rinse the mouth thoroughly after meals and at bedtime to maintain oral hygiene and prevent aggravation of stomatitis. The client should avoid using alcohol-containing commercial mouthwashes because alcohol causes irritation. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid flossing the teeth and to clean the teeth using a soft brushnot to use one with hard bristlesto prevent injuries that could lead to uncontrolled bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

D
