Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is best to apply amlexanox paste 5 (Zilactin) after meals. Discomfort is controlled with this medication; it is applied to each lesion and promotes healing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Caution the patient not to take food or drink for approximately 30 minutes after the medication because of the risk of aspiration from the absence of the gag reflex. The oral cavity is cleansed before administration. The medication can be used as a gargle and the sense of taste is diminished, but these are not the most important instructions.
