禁食（NPO）病人仍需維護口腔衛生，以防止口腔菌叢滋生引發感染或口臭。最重要的安全原則是「避免誤吸（Aspiration）」。使用少量清水或生理食鹽水清潔，並由護理師協助確保病人不會將液體吞下。選項 C 牙膏含化學物質不可吞服；選項 B 忽略了口腔護理的重要性；選項 D 違反了 NPO 的醫療處置要求。
A client on NPO status still requires oral hygiene to prevent bacterial overgrowth, infection, and halitosis. The most important safety principle is to avoid aspiration. The nurse uses a small amount of plain water or normal saline for cleaning and assists the client to ensure that no fluid is swallowed. Option C is incorrect because toothpaste contains chemicals that cannot be swallowed; option B ignores the importance of oral care; and option D violates the NPO order.
