The nurse is planning to provide mouth care to an unconscious client.Which statement is accurate for implementing mouth care to this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cleaning the inner cheeks and outer gum surfaces with a gauze pad is appropriate for an unconscious client. When mouth care is provided, an unconscious patient is placed in the side-lying position because this prevents secretions from pooling at the back of the oral cavity, lowering the risk of aspiration.
