| d. | An 8-year-old boy who has lost four deciduous teeth in the past year |
ANS: C
The average age of menarche is between 11 and 15 years of age. School-age children grow approximately 2 inches a year, gain between approximately 4.4 to 6.6 lb a year, and lose four deciduous teeth a year between ages 6 and 13. A weight gain of 11 lb in 1 year requires a follow-up because of the rising rate of obesity in children.

| a. | “Dental problems are not as prevalent a problem as asthma, so you might want to consider a health fair about respiratory problems instead.” |
| b. | “Almost 50% of children age 6 to 17 have dental caries, so a health fair that focuses on oral care is very appropriate.” |
| c. | “Children are not usually receptive to learning about dental care, so the topic is not the best choice for a health fair.” |
| d. | “This is not an appropriate focus for a health fair because the incidence of dental caries has dropped dramatically due to the use of sealants.” |
ANS: B
Dental caries and other oral health issues remain a problem in the school-age population. Small gains have been made in number of children receiving sealants to prevent caries. Dental problems are five times more prevalent than asthma.
