Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The sulcular technique aims the toothbrush at an angle toward the gums, and is recommended as the best means of brushing the client's teeth. Xerostomia is the term for dry mouth, and there is no technique associated with it. Gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease causing red swollen gingiva. Pyorrhea is loose teeth and pus that is evident when the gums are pressed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Hirsutism is abnormal hair growth. Alopecia is hair loss. Pediculosis is commonly known as lice. Scabies is a contagious skin infection caused by mites.
