Answer to Question 1

A
Instruct patients to obtain a new toothbrush every 3 months or after a cold or strep throat to mi-nimize growth of microorganisms on the brush surfaces. Avoid using toothbrush covers, which can create a moist enclosed environment that promotes bacterial growth. Dental flossing removes plaque and tartar between teeth. Instruct patients that flossing once a day is recommended. When teaching patients about mouth care, recommend that they not share toothbrushes with family members or drink directly from a bottle of mouthwash. Cross-contamination occurs easily. Antiseptic mouthwash is recommended for general use, but does not have an effect on the reinfection of strep.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should discuss any lack of progress with the client so that both the client and the nurse can speculate on what activities need to be discontinued, added, or changed. Collecting information is done during the assessment. Identification of the client's health-related problems is done during diagnosis. Nurses select appropriate nursing interventions and document the plan of care in the planning stage of the nursing process, not during evaluation.
