Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The client with braces does not have an increased risk of Candida. These clients typically maintain better oral hygiene than do other patients, actually decreasing their risk.
Rationale 2: This client is at risk for oral cancer, not for a fungal infection.
Rationale 3: Mouth breathing does not increase the risk of fungal infection.
Rationale 4: Clients taking inhaled corticosteroids experience local immunosuppression in the oral cavity.
Global Rationale: Clients taking inhaled corticosteroids experience local immunosuppression in the oral cavity. The client with braces does not have an increased risk of Candida. These clients typically maintain better oral hygiene than do other patients, actually decreasing their risk. Mouth breathing and use of smokeless tobacco do not increase the risk of fungal infection.
