• A. Serve foods without sauces or gravies
• B. Offer mouth rinses with normal saline and water
• C. Serve foods while still at a hot temperature

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Offering mouth rinses with normal saline and water is an appropriate intervention for a nurse caring for a patient with stomatitis following radiation treatment. This intervention can help soothe and clean the mouth, promoting comfort and oral hygiene. Choice A is incorrect because serving foods without sauces or gravies does not directly address the client's stomatitis. Choice C is incorrect because serving hot foods can exacerbate discomfort in the client's mouth. Choice D is incorrect because using a straw can help in preventing further irritation in the client's mouth.

4. Generally, patients who wear dentures have reduced masticatory efficiency. Mandibular implant-supported dentures can have positive effects on the clinical aspects of mastication and swallowing.

• A. Both statements are true
• B. Both statements are false
• C. The first statement is true; the second is false
• D. The first statement is false; the second is true

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. Patients who wear dentures typically experience reduced masticatory efficiency. Mandibular implant-supported dentures are known to have positive effects on the clinical aspects of mastication and swallowing, significantly improving chewing function. Option A is correct because both statements align with these facts. Option B is incorrect as both statements are true. Option C is incorrect as the second statement is also true. Option D is incorrect as the first statement is true.

5. Which food item interferes with the effectiveness of warfarin?

• A. Cauliflower
• B. Zucchini
• C. Green beans
• D. Broccoli

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Broccoli is high in vitamin K, which can affect the effectiveness of warfarin. Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that functions by reducing the activity of vitamin K in the body. When one consumes broccoli, which is rich in vitamin K, it could counteract the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, thereby interfering with its effectiveness. On the other hand, cauliflower, zucchini, and green beans do not have significant levels of vitamin K and hence, are not known to impact the effectiveness of warfarin.
