Question 1 of 5

Which of the following amino acids are considered indispensable?

A. Lysine B. Methionine C. Tryptophan D. Valine

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lysine. Indispensable amino acids are those that the body cannot synthesize and must be obtained from the diet. Lysine, methionine, and tryptophan are all examples of indispensable amino acids. However, the question specifically asked for 3 out of the 9 indispensable amino acids, making 'Lysine' the correct choice.

Choices B, C, and D are also indispensable amino acids but are not the focus of the question.

Question 2 of 5

After reviewing the health and dental histories, the dental hygienist has adequate information to begin dietary counseling with the patient. Providing a standardized, low-carbohydrate menu is sufficient for most patients with a high caries rate.

A. Both statements are true B. Both statements are false C. The first statement is true; the second is false D. The first statement is false; the second is true

Correct Answer: B

Question 3 of 5

An estimated _____ percent of persons in the United States who have HIV infection are unaware that they are infected.

A. 4% B. 21% C. 34% D. 49%

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '21%'. Approximately 21% of persons in the United States who have HIV infection are unaware that they are infected. This percentage represents a significant portion of individuals who are not aware of their HIV status, highlighting the importance of increased testing and awareness campaigns.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the estimated percentage provided in the context.

Question 4 of 5

What is the most significant dietary influence on the development of dental caries?

A. Carbohydrates B. Vitamins C. Minerals D. Fats

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, especially fermentable sugars, are the most significant dietary factor in the development of dental caries. When these sugars are consumed, they can be fermented by bacteria in the mouth, leading to the production of acids. These acids lower the pH in the mouth, creating an acidic environment that promotes demineralization of the tooth enamel, ultimately causing dental caries.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while vitamins and minerals are important for overall health, they do not have the same direct impact on the development of dental caries as fermentable carbohydrates do. Fats, on the other hand, do not play a significant role in the development of dental caries.

Question 5 of 5

What factor has been shown to contribute to poor nutritional health among adolescents?

A. Most teens choose fruit juice and milk over soda B. Many teens consume energy drinks on a regular basis C. Teens have busy schedules and rarely drink fluids throughout the day D. Teens are more likely to consume low-fat milk

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because many teens regularly consume energy drinks, which can contribute to poor nutritional health due to their high sugar and caffeine content, leading to unhealthy dietary patterns.
Choice A is incorrect because choosing fruit juice and milk over soda would generally be considered a healthier choice.
Choice C is incorrect as busy schedules leading to inadequate fluid intake might impact hydration but not necessarily poor nutritional health.
Choice D is also incorrect as consuming low-fat milk is not typically a significant factor contributing to poor nutritional health among adolescents.
