Sample Questions

Question 1
A patient who recently migrated to Australia tells you, through limited English, that they do not understand the consent form for a course of periodontal debridement. According to the Dental Board of Australia's Code of Conduct, what is the dental hygienist's most appropriate action?
Arrange a qualified interpreter so informed consent can be obtained before proceeding
Ask a family member in the waiting room to quickly translate and sign on the patient's behalf
Proceed with treatment because periodontal debridement is low-risk and consent is implied by attendance
Postpone all care indefinitely until the patient learns enough English to read the form
Question 2
Under the Australian National Law, dental hygienists must hold professional indemnity insurance arrangements and complete continuing professional development to maintain registration with Ahpra. Which statement best reflects the CPD requirement for registered dental hygienists?
CPD is voluntary for hygienists and only recommended for those working in private practice
CPD only has to be completed once every five years, at the point of an AHPRA registration audit
A minimum number of CPD hours, with content relevant to scope, must be completed each registration period
Only dentists, and not registered dental hygienists, are required to undertake CPD under the National Law
Question 3
A dental hygienist working in a rural Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service is planning an oral health promotion program for school-aged children. Which approach is most consistent with culturally safe, evidence-based health promotion?
Deliver a standardised metropolitan school lecture unchanged, assuming the same content suits every community equally
Distribute printed English-language pamphlets only, relying on written material as the cheapest delivery channel
Focus the program on restorative treatment vouchers, directing families straight to clinical care rather than prevention
Co-design the strategy with local Aboriginal Health Workers and community Elders
Question 4
A water fluoridation program in a regional Australian town adjusts the fluoride concentration of the reticulated supply. What is the optimal target concentration range for community water fluoridation recommended in Australia for caries prevention?
0.1 to 0.3 mg/L
0.6 to 1.1 mg/L
2.0 to 3.0 mg/L
4.0 to 5.0 mg/L
Question 5
During a recall appointment, a 14-year-old patient discloses to the dental hygienist that they are being physically harmed at home. In Victoria, what is the hygienist's primary professional and legal obligation?
Act on the mandatory reporting duty and report the reasonable belief of abuse to child protection
Keep the disclosure entirely confidential, treating it as unrelated to the child's oral health care
Tell the parents waiting outside straight away so that they can deal with the disclosure themselves
Wait until the child's next appointment to see whether they choose to raise the matter again
