DHG 104 Final Exam Review || 100% Verified Answers.
Three Categories of Preventive Services correct answers Primary Prevention
Secondary Prevention
Tertiary Prevention
Primary Prevention correct answers measures carried out before disease occurs to prevent
disease or injury
Examples: sealants placed in deep grooves and pits to prevent caries; oral hygiene education;
fluoridation of community of water supplies; nutrition education on sugar-sweetened beverages
consumption to reduce caries risk and obesity in children
Secondary prevention correct answers treatment of early disease to prevent further progression of
potentially irreversible conditions that, if not arrested, can lead eventually to extensive
rehabilitative treatment or even loss of teeth
Examples: removal of calculus and dental biofilm while debriefing a root surface in a relatively
shallow periodontal pocket to prevent continued attachment loss and the formation of a deep
pocket; remineralization therapy; sealants on noncavitated caries
tertiary prevention correct answers methods to replace lost tissues and to rehabilitate the oral
cavity to a level where function is as near normal as possible after secondary prevention has not
been successful
Examples: replacement of a missing tooth using a fixed partial denture or implant and therefore
restoring function; restorations; crowns; bone and tissue grafts.
Dental Hygiene Process of Care correct answers -includes assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis,
planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation
- to provide a framework to individualize the process of care for each patient
- to identify the risk factors to aid in prevention and/ or management of oral diseasae through
dental hygiene interventions
Assessment correct answers collecting both subjective (what the patient says they are feeling)
and objective data (information we gather, clinical findings)
Diagnose correct answers identify the health behaviors of each patient as well as the actual or
potential oral health problems within the scope of practice for dental hygienist
Planning correct answers the selection of strategies and interventions that meet the needs of the
patient in attaining oral health
Implentation correct answers the activation of the care plan
Evaluation correct answers determines whether a specific area of a patient needs to be treated
again, referred, or placed on a continuing care schedule
, Essential features for disease transmission correct answers infectious agent, reservoir, port of
exit, mode of transmission, port of entry, susceptible host
Hepatitis B correct answers found in blood and body fluids including semen, tears, urine, and
saliva (not sweat), can occur from inanimate objects that have been exposed, a vaccine for it
modes of transmission: contaminated needle, accidental needlestick, sharing needles, contact
with blood
Hepatitis C correct answers no vaccine, is primarily transmitted parenterally and other modes
similar to Hepatitis B
Education and behavior modification are essential since no vaccine is currently available for hep
C
Hepatitis D correct answers also known as delta hepatitis, all measures to prevent hep B will
prevent delta hepatitis because HDV is dependent on the presence of HBV
Prevention and Treatment of HIV correct answers Dental personnel who are well informed with
accurate, current information can provide care for HIV-infected patients and give support to
community health programs, treatment usually requires a combination of several different
medications sometimes combined to one pill.
Routine handwash correct answers Water and nonantimicrobial soap to remove soil and transient
microorganisms.
Wet hands, apply soap, and avoid hot water.
Rub hands together for at least 15 seconds; cover all surfaces of fingers, hands, and wrists.
Interlace fingers and rub to cover all sides.
Rinse under running water; dry thoroughly with disposable towels.
Turn off faucet with the towel.
Antiseptic handwash correct answers - water and antimicrobial soap
- remove or destroy transient microbes and reduce resident flora
- all surfaces of hands and fingers
- 15 sec, 3 times
Gloves and gloving correct answers Wearing gloves is a standard practice to protect both the
patient and the clinician from cross-contamination. (read more in book on pg 91)
Factors affecting glove integrity correct answers Length of time worn
Complexity of the procedure
Packaging of the gloves
Size of glove
Pressure of time
Storage of gloves
Agents used
Hazards from the hands
