Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Nurses caring for patients with Sjgren syndrome need to teach measures to protect the patient's eyes and oral mucosa. Instill artificial tears as needed. Encourage the patient to sip fluids throughout the day. Instruct to perform frequent oral hygiene, particularly before and after meals. Ensure that the patient has sufficient fluids to drink during meals, because fluids help with chewing and swallowing. Aspirin is not indicated in the treatment of Sjgren syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Conservative treatment for adults with scoliosis may include weight reduction, active and passive exercises, and the use of braces for support. There is no recommendation to increase fluids in the conservative treatment of scoliosis. Corticosteroid injections are not considered conservative treatment for scoliosis.
