Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Topical fluoride treatments are beneficial to the teeth of older persons. Tooth loss is related to periodontal disease, not aging. Whereas the incidence of caries decreases with age, it is still present.

Answer to Question 2

C
Volkmann's contracture is a permanent contracture that can occur as a result of circulatory obstruction secondary to compartment syndrome.
