Study Notes

Daily bathing and hair washing are essential to prevent body odor and maintain social relationships.
Neglecting to clean the face, behind the ears, and around the neck can lead to persistent itching.
Washing hands and feet is crucial for hygiene, and failure to do so may result in restrictions on eating.
Regular trimming of fingernails and toenails prevents the accumulation of dirt underneath, which can cause stomach aches when eating with hands.
Dentures are artificial teeth worn by individuals, like Grandma, who have lost their natural teeth.
The absence of teeth or improperly fitted dentures can limit food choices and make chewing difficult.
Dentures play a role in clear speech, and their absence can impair communication.
Brushing teeth after meals and before bed is essential in preventing bad breath and tooth decay.
Rinsing the mouth after snacks and sweets is crucial for maintaining oral hygiene.
