Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
For the client who is unresponsive and breathing through the mouth, for example, oral hygiene is often ordered every 60 minutes, not every 30 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes, because of the extreme dryness.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse would use the following ratio to calculate the dosage:
50 mL/hour = 50 mL/X hours
50 mL  X hours = 1 hour  500 mL
X = 500/50 = 10 hours
