Questions and Answers for Dental Nurses
An essential study aid for dental nursing students preparing for the NEBDN exam
The newly revised Fourth Edition of Questions and Answers for Dental Nurses delivers a comprehensive and invaluable revision guide that covers the full curriculum of the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) National Diploma in Dental Nursing. It is fully updated and incorporates recent developments in dentistry and changes to relevant legislation and regulation.
The included questions mimic the style of questions used in the NEBDN examination and the accompanying answers and explanations discuss why a given answer is the best one. All four General Dental Council development outcomes--formerly called "domains"--are covered in the book, allowing students to gauge their progress and understanding on all of the areas they'll be tested on.
The book also includes:
* A thorough introduction to communication in dental nursing, including obtaining consents and record keeping, handling complaints, raising concerns and oral health instruction
* Comprehensive explorations of management and leadership, including chairside support, practice management, and health and safety
* Practical discussions of clinical considerations, including infection prevention and control, oral anatomy and physiology, dental pathology and microbiology, and assessment and diagnosis
* In-depth examinations of professionalism in the dental nursing context, including GDC standards, legal and ethical issues, and equality and diversity
Questions and Answers for Dental Nurses 4th Edition is an essential resource for dental nurse students enrolled in the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses National Diploma training course, as well as dental tutors, trainers, and educators preparing candidates for this qualification.
