I would use the plural without an article in each case: noses, presidents, kings, Ls, wives, plurals.

I wouldn't say that the singular with "a" was wrong, however.

The verb and the object of the verb have to match. So if there is an "and" the noun or subject the verb has to be plural the object of the verb is not. If there is a "or" the subject after the "or" is the one that is receiving the verb and the object of the verb.

The plural of 'baby' is 'babies'.
