Explanation:

For the first question, a care - plan is designed to address all aspects of a client's care including hygiene needs, especially for a confused client. An ID bracelet may not have detailed hygiene - related care needs, medical records may not focus solely on hygiene, and asking a confused client may not yield reliable results. For the second question, inflammation of tissues around the teeth is a key sign of periodontal disease. Oral hygiene is a general category, plaque is a biofilm on teeth, and tartar is hardened plaque.

Answer:

1. Follow the client's care plan.
2. Periodontal disease
