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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
