kidney dialysis as a lifesaving therapy. She takes nifedipine
(Procardia) for hypertension and Wellbutrin (bupropion) for
depression. Her chief complaint is "My gums look big, and they
keep bleeding." In light of her current health, it is likely that Mrs.

rural community has hired a dental hygienist to design and
implement a program to reduce early childhood caries (ECC). Most

water, nor are school-based fluoridation programs available.
During initial research, the dental hygienist learns that a strong
coalition within the community opposes any type of fluoridation. To
prioritize needs, goals and objectives the program administrator

,Question 7: As a requirement for your graduate degree in dental
hygiene, you are conducting statistical analysis of data from a
community oral screening program in a local homeless shelter.
Socioeconomic status is low and the incidence of homelessness is
high in this community since a factory closed recently and layoffs
were made in related industries. Homelessness presents many
challenges in obtaining accurate research data, partly because of
transportation difficulties experienced by patients and partly by the
seasonal and transient nature of this population as individuals
seek employment. The shelter provides a limited supply of
toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss. A related aspect of this
assignment includes presenting a brief introduction of statistical
concepts to dental hygiene students at a nearby community
college. Variables along a continuum, such as temperature, scores
from a survey, and time are examples of d
Answer:
The first statement is false, the second is true.
