Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Fluphenazine (Prolixin) may cause the side effect of infection, because this medication can reduce the normal bacteria in the patient's mouth and increase sensitivity to infection. A thick white coating on the tongue indicates infection and must be treated. Brushing the tongue and teeth is a good preventive measure. Smoking and a high sugar diet will exacerbate the problem. The measures the nurse is offering will prevent recurrence if paired with adequate hydration.
