Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing oral care for a client who is immobile. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Turn the client on his side before starting oral care. This action helps prevent choking or aspiration if the client has difficulty swallowing. It also allows for better access to the mouth and reduces the risk of gagging. Using a stiff toothbrush (
A) can cause injury to the client's gums and oral tissues. Using the thumb and index finger (
C) to keep the client's mouth open can be uncomfortable and may not provide adequate access for thorough oral care. Applying petroleum jelly (
D) to the client's lips may not be necessary for oral care and can lead to increased bacterial growth if not properly cleaned off.
