Which action is the nurse’s response when assessment of the oral cavity of a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) reveals areas of white plaque on the tongue and palate? Instruct the client to perform meticulous oral hygiene at least once daily. Identify one of the lesions, scrape the area, and send for a biopsy. Document the presence of the lesions, describing their size, location, numbers, and color. Consider findings as universally identified lesions in clients with AIDS that require no treatment.
