An instructor is teaching students about providing oral care on an unconscious patient. The teacher realizes that additional instruction is required when a student says:
1. I should assess the mouth for lesions and dried mouth secretions known as sordes.
2. I must position the patient to minimize any chance of aspiration of fluids.
3. I should use lemon-glycerin swabs to clean the lips and inside of the mouth.
4. I should apply a water-soluble lip balm to keep the lips moist.
Question 2
A patient with an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) requires a nurse's help removing it for cleaning. The nurse assists the patient by
1. Removing the prosthesis like a thick contact lens.
2. Unscrewing the prosthesis from the eye socket.
3. Using a small suction cup on a hollow handle to help remove the prosthesis.
4. Pressing on either side of the prosthesis until it pops out.
