Question 1 of 5
A nurse cares for a client after radiation therapy for neck cancer. The client reports extreme dry mouth. What action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse should explain that xerostomia (dry mouth) may be a permanent side effect of radiation therapy for neck cancer. This is the most appropriate action as it educates the client about the potential long-term effects of the treatment. Option A is incorrect as lidocaine mouthwash may not address the underlying issue of dry mouth. Option B is incorrect as administering IV fluid boluses every 2 hours is not indicated for dry mouth. Option D is incorrect as assessing the client's neck for redness and swelling does not directly address the client's reported dry mouth.
