Providing frequent oral hygiene The neurologist determines that the stroke victim has right- sided hemiplegia
Removing all head pillows
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Performing oral suctioning
Suctioning is required whenever a patient cannot clear his or her own airway. An unconscious patient should be positioned on the side rather than supine. Removing pillows is inconsequential to maintaining a clear airway. Oral hygiene is an appropriate nursing measure for meeting the patient's basic needs, but it does not clear the airway.
