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.
