Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The side-lying position should be used to prevent aspiration. The high Fowler's, low Fowler's, and prone position will not prevent aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cotton-tipped swabs or applicators should not be used in the ears for cleaning because this can push wax farther into the ears. A back massage may be given as part of a complete bed bath. Oral care is an essential nursing intervention that provides patient comfort, removes plaque and bacteria, reduces the risk of tooth decay, and decreases halitosis. Oral care includes brushing the teeth and tongue, flossing, rinsing the mouth, and cleaning dentures. Shaving a patient may be part of hygienic care and can be done with a disposable or electric razor.
