Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Periodontitis is a marked inflammation of the gums that also involves degeneration of the dental periosteum (tissues) and bone. Symptoms include bleeding gums; swollen, red, painful gum tissues; receding gum lines with the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums; pus that appears when gums are pressed; and loose teeth.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Morning care is often identified as either self-care, partial care, or complete care. Clients requiring partial morning care most often receive care at the bedside or seated near the sink in the bathroom. They usually require assistance with body areas that are difficult to reach.
