Testlet 2 A high school class of 12 physically challenged students, 14-19 years of age; show a need for improved oral hygiene. The school district dental hygienist has been asked by the high school nurse to assess their needs and to work with the nurse to implement a dental public health program to this class. The dental hygienist plans to set up a portable dental unit to screen the students and to implement an evaluative tool to understand the dental health knowledge of the group. In addition, she plans to provide oral hygiene instruction each month during the remaining of the school year, and the nurse will follow up with the instructions each Tuesday. The Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) scores during the initial assessment of the class were 2.5, 2.75, 1.5, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 2.5, 2.75, 2.5, 2.5, 2.0 and 3.0. The mean OHI-S score of the 12 individuals was 4.8. What is that median of the PHP scores?
