Answer to Question 1

3,5
Rationale 1: Poor oral care may be passed from parent to child, but dental caries are not inherited.
Rationale 2: Fruit juice is high in sugar and may promote cavities. The amount of juice per day should be limited.
Rationale 3: A young child may be unable to spit out the toothpaste and will swallow it. To avoid children ingesting too much fluoride, parents should use toothpaste without fluoride.
Rationale 4: The three-year-old child is not mature enough to brush independently. Although the child should be allowed to attempt to brush, the parent should ensure the teeth are adequately cleaned.
Rationale 5: Early attention to dental health improves the condition of the primary teeth.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 2: Uncontrolled pain does not usually lead to urinary complications.
Rationale 3: Uncontrolled pain does not lead to cardiac complications.
Rationale 4: Uncontrolled pain does not frequently lead to bowel complications.
Global Rationale:
