Your first patient in the spring has hypothyroid and hypertension, controlled with levothyroxine and lisinopril.  The vitals for today are 142/84, pulse 80 and respirations 14.  They haven’t had a dental appointment in a year and had bitewings taken then.  Your head and neck findings indicate a few abnormalities to chart and their periodontal assessments indicates that they have localized recession on premolars and generalized 1-3mm probe depths.  They indicate that they clench at night and you find that some of the anterior teeth move less than 1mm when you test mobility using 2 blunt ends of instruments. Since they are low risk for caries and have no dental concerns, you determine that they do not need new radiographs. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: Which instruments would not be intended to scale the premolar recession areas?

You are working with a dental faculty to complete an initial appointment on a new patient during an NPE appointment. Since the patient had radiographs transferred, you had time after completing the head and neck exam to do a periodontal evaluation and record a PSR score. After completing this evaluation you enter these scores into the PSR chart and discuss your findings with your faculty member. Use this information to answer the following questions. 3 2 4 3* 2* 2 QUESTION: Which of the following conditions would not be indicated by an asterisk?

Your patient presents for a prophy today after being away from the dental office for over five years. After updating the medical history, you add that the patient has been diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus and went to the hospital four months ago for a broken wrist after falling, and has developed an allergy to penicillin. They had an artificial heart valve placed in 2020, and they report taking taking Warfarin, Metformin and a multivitamin daily. Upon completing the risk assessments and periodontal charting, you note that they are at high risk for caries and periodontal disease and have generalized 3-6mm and localized 7 and 8mm probe depths with generalized recession. Based off of this information, answer the following questions. QUESTION: Determining the patient’s periodontal health status is what component of the Dental Hygiene Process of Care?

Assume a class called Testdrive exists. Private instance variables include driver (string), xLocation (int), yLocation(int), and speed (double). You do not need to create this class. Speed is always set to zero but the other variables are defined during instantiation. Write the constructor for this class (and it’s access modifier).
