1.The nurse is teaching the patient about flossing and oral hygiene. Which
instruction will the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. Using waxed floss prevents bleeding.
b. Flossing removes plaque and tartar from the teeth.
c. Performing flossing at least 3 times a day is beneficial.
d. Applying toothpaste to the teeth before flossing is harmful.
ANS: B
Dental flossing removes plaque and tartar between teeth. To prevent bleeding, the
patient should use unwaxed floss. Flossing once a day is sufficient. If toothpaste is
applied to the teeth before flossing, fluoride will come in direct contact with tooth
surfaces, aiding in cavity prevention.

capitis). Which information will the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. Treatment is use of regular shampoo.
b. Products containing lindane are most effective.
c. Head lice may spread to furniture and other people.
d. Manual removal is not a realistic option as treatment.
ANS: C
Head lice are difficult to remove and spread to furniture and other people if not
treated. Caution against use of products containing lindane because the ingredient is
toxic and is known to cause adverse reactions.
Treatments use medicated shampoo for eliminating lice. Manual removal is the best
option when treatment has failed.
