14. The purposes include identifying patients at risk and determining dietary factors associated with increased risk for compromised oral health. It is important to refer the patient to a registered dietitian if intervention beyond scope of dental hygiene practice is necessary.

15. Explain the purpose and the form used (and illustrate it with current day’s intake) and provide general directions—complete soon after eating, use of typical day, details of recording combination dishes, record all types of intake, designating where meal is consumed, and using consecutive days + one weekend.

16. Garnishes, beverages, snacks, gum, syrup from canned fruit, seasonings, cereal, and type of potato

17. Using the information from a patient’s 24-hour diet recall, total up the frequency of exposure to each of the types of reference foods listed in the Sweet Score form. Calculate the total points in each category by multiplying the number of exposures by the weighted score that is listed for each category. Add the total points and compare to the risk for dental caries score to determine the level of risk.

18. Listed in Figure 34-6:

■  Cut down on frequency of sweets and sweet beverages.

■  Avoid slowly dissolving sweets such as hard candies.

■  Suggest including more non–decay-promoting foods in diet.

19.

■  Patient willingness and ability to cooperate

■  Resistance to change of habits and loss of favorite foods

■  Limited knowledge and misconceptions

■  Cultural patterns of eating

■  Attitude toward sugar

20.

■  Providing too much information (overwhelming)

■  Not providing appropriate information to increase the patient’s knowledge of how diet affects oral health

■  Not considering cultural, lifestyle, financial, and emotional issues

■  Not using many of the pointers included in the Pointers for Success of a Conference that are listed in the text

A PRIMER AND TEMPLATE FOR THE USE OF EVALUATION RUBRICS

Competence is the ability to apply knowledge and skills in a relevant way to solve problems, answer questions, or make decisions.

Objectively evaluating a learner’s ability to recall factual information is relatively easy. Evaluation of student responses to exercises/learning activities that are intended to assess competence is often significantly more difficult. Competence is a complex interaction of skills that begins with an understanding of basic facts (KNOWLEDGE) and incorporates the ANALYSIS of all relevant factors in a specific situation, and SYNTHESIS of information in order to answer questions or solve problems. Competence also includes being able to SUPPORT or clearly explain the rationale for decisions and as well as effectively COMMUNICATE the plan for action.

An academic grading rubric provides objective criteria useful for evaluating student work that has been submitted to demonstrate competence. The assignment of points for each of the criteria stated in the rubric will aid the faculty member in providing an objective grade or score. When the evaluation rubric is provided along with instructions for the assignment, students receive a guide to faculty expectations. When the finished assignment is graded, focused feedback will help the student understand errors or omissions that result in a lower score or grade for the assignment.

The example evaluation rubric below, which is also included as Appendix E in the workbook, can be used as a template for grading all of the competency exercises, including those related to Factors To Teach The Patient and Everyday Ethics, in each chapter of the Student Workbook. The point range as well as the list of criteria in this sample rubric can be revised as needed by the evaluator. The revised rubric can then be downloaded or printed to provide a guide for evaluation of student work.
