ADA NBDHE Dental Hygienist

Answer: B - The statement "a dental professional's responsibility for a patient's welfare ends with a signed informed consent document" is false.
Every dental professional is responsible for continually educating the patient about the need for recommended treatment and helping him or her to understand how serious that need is. Even if a patient continues to deny treatment, that decision should be based upon a complete knowledge of his or her oral health status.
