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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Turn the client on his side before starting oral care. This is essential to prevent aspiration in immobile clients. Turning the client on the side helps to drain saliva and oral care solutions out of the mouth, reducing the risk of choking or aspiration.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Using thumb and index finger to keep the mouth open can cause discomfort and injury. Applying petroleum jelly to the lips is unnecessary and can increase the risk of aspiration. Using a stiff toothbrush can damage the client's delicate oral tissues.
