Which of the following interventions is most appropriate for a client who has stomatitis?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Stomatitis involves inflammation of the oral mucosa, often causing pain and sensitivity. A soft, bland diet is most appropriate as it minimizes irritation and discomfort during eating. Hot tea, antiseptic mouthwash, and electric toothbrushes can exacerbate irritation or pain in the inflamed oral tissues.
