Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing oral care for a client who is unconscious. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Turn the client to the side. This action helps prevent aspiration of oral secretions during oral care for an unconscious client. Turning the client to the side prevents fluids from entering the airway, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration pneumonia. Placing two fingers in the client's mouth (
A) can be dangerous as the client may accidentally bite the fingers. Holding the toothbrush at a 90° angle (
B) is not relevant to the situation of an unconscious client. Vigorously brushing the client's teeth (
C) can cause oral trauma and discomfort. Other choices are not applicable.
