Question 1 of 5
How many temporary teeth should the nurse expect to find in a 5-year-old client's mouth?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 5-year-old child can have up to 20 temporary (deciduous or baby) teeth. The first tooth usually erupts by age 6 months, and the last by age 30 months. All temporary teeth are usually shed between 6 and 13 years of age.
Therefore, a 5-year-old child should have up to 20 temporary teeth. The correct answer is 'up to 20.'
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the correct number of temporary teeth in a 5-year-old child's mouth is up to 20, not 10, 15, or 32.
