ACF (Administration for Children and Families) c. CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) d. WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)

a. PHS (Public Health Service) Correct Rationale: There are eight operating agencies under the Public Health Service (PHS), including the CDC, NIH, and HRSA that are active in funding prevention programs and research projects that would relate to this program. Also, HRSA is a source of funding for school-based health centers. Incorrect Rationales: b. Although the Administration of Children and Families (ACF) has the potential to fund a program through the Head Start program, it is a single agency under the DHHS. c. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has the potential for funding dental treatment, including preventive treatment (sealants and fluoride varnish). However, it will not fund the educational phase of the necessary programming, and it is also a single agency. d. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program does not serve school-age children.

b. Assessment

the level to which 2 different examiners agree or get the same scores for the same person being examined

interexaminer reliability

b. Interprofessional collaborative practice Correct Rationale: Interprofessional collaborative practice is the coming together of multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds to work together on a project that affects the various aspects of health of the population. Incorrect Rationales: a. Policy changes for healthier habits could be a long-term goal for this educational campaign, but it is not reflected in the activity described in this question. c. Remote supervision refers to the use of teledentistry for dental supervision and/or collaboration; it does not refer to the interprofessional representation on the work committee. This community case does not describe a situation in which remote supervision would be applied. In some states, the laws allow for remote supervision of dental hygienists and dental therapists for community-based programs that serve underserved populations. d. Secondary prevention refers to interventions that reduce or eliminate current disease. The educational campaign will likely include the need for treatment in addition to primary preventive strategies to promote oral health as critical to overall health.

In your new position as the Oral Health Program Coordinator at the State Health Department, you are asked to conduct a statewide screening project to determine the oral health status of school-age children. After you collect and analyze the data from the statewide survey, you are to determine what oral health programs you would like to plan that will address the needs of children in your state. Once programs are selected and prioritized, you will be involved in planning the programs for local implementation.

Assess the significance of the data collected c. Synthesize the information and summarize the findings d. Provide direction for future actions to build on community assets

c. Synthesize the information and summarize the findings

c. The first statement is true, the second is false. Correct Rationale: The educational campaign and the sealant program are both primary prevention measures; therefore, the first sentence is true, and the second sentence is false. Although the educational campaign may address the need for secondary preventive treatment, the education itself is a primary preventive strategy. The actual provision of treatment would be an example of secondary prevention. Incorrect Rationales: a, b, and d. Because the first statement is true and the second statement is false, all other answer choices have to be incorrect.

c. The number of elementary, middle, and high schools Correct Rationale: The case specifies that the sealant program will be established in a part of the state that is designated as a dental health professional shortage area (DHPSA). The number of schools is not a factor in determining a DHPSA. Incorrect Rationales: a. The ratio of dental providers to population size is a factor in defining a DHPSA. b. Presence of barriers that cause inadequate access to dental care for the population contributes to the definition of a DHPSA. d. The number of dentists and dental hygienists in the state affects the ratio of dental providers to population; thus, it is important in defining the state as a DHPSA.

In your position as the oral health program coordinator for the Division of Dental Health, State Health Department, you are assigned the task of developing an educational campaign to promote oral health as critical to overall health. You also are in charge of setting up a dental sealant program in a part of the state that is classified as a dental HPSA. You will be responsible for selecting schools to participate in the dental sealant program and for organizing the project, including planning all meetings, ordering supplies, supervising personnel, and arranging the schedule. Question: According to the laws of this state, a dentist must screen the children to approve the teeth for dental sealants before a dental hygienist places the sealants; the dentist does not have to be present at the time that the dental sealants are placed. Which of the following is a correct statement? a. This is an example of direct supervision. b. This is a direct access state. c. This describes general supervision. d. Assessment is within the scope of practice for dental hygienists in this state. Correct Rationale: With general supervision, the dentist needs to authorize the work to be completed prior to services but does not need to be present during treatment. Incorrect Rationales: a. With direct supervision, the dentist would need to be present while the dental hygienist is placing the sealants. b. Direct access gives the dental hygienist the right to initiate treatment based on his or her assessment of a patient's needs without the specific authorization of a dentist. d. If assessment were within the scope of practice, the dental hygienist would be able to accomplish the screening to qualify the teeth for sealants.

c. This describes general supervision. Correct Rationale: With general supervision, the dentist needs to authorize the work to be completed prior to services but does not need to be present during treatment. Incorrect Rationales: a. With direct supervision, the dentist would need to be present while the dental hygienist is placing the sealants. b. Direct access gives the dental hygienist the right to initiate treatment based on his or her assessment of a patient's needs without the specific authorization of a dentist. d. If assessment were within the scope of practice, the dental hygienist would be able to accomplish the screening to qualify the teeth for sealants.

Assess oral health status and implement an oral health surveillance system b. Develop and implement policies and systematic plans that support state and community oral health efforts c. Reduce barriers to care and assure utilization of personal and population-based oral health services d. Review, educate about, and enforce laws and regulations that promote oral health and ensure safe oral health practices

d. Review, educate about, and enforce laws and regulations that promote oral health and ensure safe oral health practices Correct Rationale: The programs described in this scenario (statewide oral health screening of school-age children and planning programs for local implementation) do not relate to laws and regulations that promote oral health and ensure safe oral health practices.

This oral health survey can be designed in such a way that the data can be used for statewide surveillance as well. b. The program development phase will include systematic plans to support community oral health efforts for the children. These plans may also involve developing school policies to support oral health. Local efforts should support state goals. c. Improving utilization of personal and population-based oral health services is an important way to improve oral health status; reducing barriers to care will be a necessary objective to improve utilization.
