The actions to be encouraged for a client who developed a mild oral yeast infection following chemotherapy should be:

Use a lip lubricant.
Use dental floss every 24 hours.
Rinse the mouth with normal saline.

Chemotherapy is the chemical treatment for cancer where highly powerful chemicals are used for killing the cancer cells. These chemicals are therefore called anti-cancer drugs.

Dental floss is the dental tool used to remove the stuck food in between the teeth so as to prevent any infection or growth of bacteria. The floss is usually made of plastic or nylon material and is like a thread.
