Question 1 of 5
Which patient is at risk for developing oral candidiasis, a type of stomatitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is a 77-year-old woman in a long-term care facility taking an antibiotic. This patient has multiple risk factors for developing oral candidiasis, including older age, being in a long-term care facility, and taking antibiotics. Candidiasis can be caused by long-term antibiotic therapy, immunosuppressive therapy (such as chemotherapy), older age, living in a long-term care facility, diabetes, having dentures, and poor oral hygiene.
Choices B, C, and D are less likely to be at high risk for oral candidiasis compared to the correct answer.
