Question 1 of 5
In the context of outpatient care for a client diagnosed with Bell's palsy which of the following statements if made by the client would indicate the need for further education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will chew on the affected side to prevent swallowing issues." This statement indicates a need for further education because chewing on the affected side can exacerbate swallowing issues in Bell's palsy due to potential loss of muscle control. Chewing on the affected side can lead to food or liquids being aspirated, increasing the risk of choking or aspiration pneumonia. Clients with Bell's palsy should be advised to chew on the unaffected side to prevent such complications.
Choice A (I can take analgesics every four hours for pain) is correct as it is a common treatment for pain management in Bell's palsy.
Choice C (I can still brush my teeth with no issues) is correct as maintaining oral hygiene is important and can be done without exacerbating symptoms.
Choice D (I will apply this protective eye shield before going to bed) is correct as it helps prevent corneal abrasions due to incomplete eye closure.
