Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: A

An electric toothbrush can provide thorough cleaning with minimal effort from the client.
Choice B is incorrect because alcohol-based mouthwash may be too harsh and drying for the client's oral tissues.
Choice C is incorrect as lemon-glycerin mouth swabs may not be suitable for the client and could potentially cause irritation.
Choice D is incorrect as using dental floss would require manual dexterity and strength that the client may not have.
