Question

A nurse is teaching about denture care to the partner of a client who is unable to perform oral hygiene. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

Wrap gloved fingers with gauze to remove dentures.

Rationale :

🌟When assisting with denture care, using gloved fingers wrapped in gauze provides a secure grip, reducing the risk of dropping or damaging the dentures and enhancing infection control.

🌟 Wiping dentures is inadequate for cleaning, flossing is not applicable to dentures, and a washcloth is not effective for thorough cleaning.

Correct Answers:

I scrambled egg

Rationale :

🍕One scrambled egg is equivalent to 1 ounce of protein, which meets the USDA guideline for a toddler’s single serving of protein.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Slow the rate of the feeding.

Rationale :

✔Diarrhea during NG feeding may indicate rapid infusion exceeding the gut’s absorptive capacity.

✔ Slowing the rate improves tolerance.

✔Chilled formulas may irritate the gut, and low-calorie formulas or tubing changes do not directly address this issue.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

Tilt the clients head forward when swallowing.

Rationale :

📌Tilting the head forward (chin-tuck position) while swallowing helps protect the airway by closing the epiglottis and directing food away from the trachea.

📌Syringe feeding increases aspiration risk.

📌Eating in a rush and physical exertion before meals reduce safety and appetite.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

"Eat bananas when you are ready to add food to your diet."

Rationale :

🎲Bananas are part of the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast), which is recommended for clients recovering from diarrhea.

🎲They help restore potassium and bulk up stool.

🎲Tea and carbonated drinks may irritate the GI tract, and sugar-free candy may contain sorbitol, which worsens diarrhea.

Correct Answers:

Blurred vision

Rationale :

◼Blurred vision is a key sign of hypoglycemia, caused by insufficient glucose supply to retinal cells.

◼ Other symptoms include shakiness, confusion, hunger, and sweating.

◼ Kussmaul respirations are linked to hyperglycemia/DKA, and bradycardia is not a common manifestation.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

"We will monitor the serum ammonia level to help determine if the medication is effective:

Rationale :

📍Lactulose reduces serum ammonia levels by trapping ammonia in the gut and expelling it through increased bowel movements, which helps manage hepatic encephalopathy.

📍 Effectiveness is measured by ammonia levels, not just bowel count. It’s not an antibiotic or given IV.
