Question 4 of 5
Given that orthodontic patients are frequently adolescents, their nutrition and oral self-care are often subpar. A dental hygienist may successfully motivate these noncompliant patients by emphasizing that optimal nutrition and oral self-care can enhance their appearance. Is this true or false?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Both statements are indeed true. Many adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment often neglect proper nutrition and oral hygiene, leading to subpar practices in these areas. It's common for them to be less attentive to these aspects due to various factors. A dental hygienist's role includes motivating these patients towards better self-care practices. One effective approach is by emphasizing that good nutrition and oral hygiene can significantly enhance their appearance. This approach is particularly effective for adolescents as they are often highly conscious about their looks. The other choices are incorrect because they suggest that one or both of the statements are false, which is not the case.
Question 5 of 5
Which vitamin deficiency is most likely to cause bleeding disorders?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting as it plays a crucial role in the activation of clotting factors. Deficiency of Vitamin K can lead to impaired blood clotting, resulting in bleeding disorders. Vitamin A is more associated with vision and skin health, not blood clotting. Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties and role in immune function, not specifically related to bleeding disorders. Vitamin D plays a key role in calcium absorption and bone health, but it is not directly linked to blood clotting or bleeding disorders.
