Answer to Question 1

C
Normal saline rinses (approximately 30 mL) on awaking in the morning, after each meal, and at bedtime can effectively clean the oral cavity. The rinses can be increased to every two hours if necessary.
Clients with stomatitis should be advised to avoid commercial mouthwash.
Clients with stomatitis should be advised to avoid alcohol.
Gentle brushing and flossing are important in preventing bleeding of the gums. A soft tooth-brush, not a firm toothbrush, should be used.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Asystole is a lethal rhythm associated with no apparent electrical activity.
B Atrial fibrillation is not considered a lethal rhythm.
C Ventricular tachycardia, although life-threatening and requiring immediate intervention, is not labelled as a lethal rhythm.
D Ventricular fibrillation, although life-threatening and requiring immediate intervention, is not labelled as a lethal rhythm.
