• A. The child should not be encouraged to try it again.
• B. The child should be offered a reward if they eat most of the food items.
• C. The child should be offered the item at least 8 times on different occasions.
• D. The child should be encouraged to eat at least 5 bites of the food item.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Encouraging repeated exposure to the food item can help the child develop a taste for it. Option A is incorrect as it suggests avoiding encouraging the child to try the food again, which may hinder their ability to develop a liking for it. Option B is incorrect as using rewards for eating may not promote a genuine interest in the food item. Option D is incorrect because setting a specific number of bites may create pressure and negativity around mealtime, rather than fostering a positive association with the food.

4. When counseling a teenager about fast food, a dental hygienist could correctly cite which of the following facts, with one exception. Which is the exception?

• A. Most fast food menus lack a rich source of vitamin A
• B. Consumer demands have driven the establishment of salads and other healthy menu items
• C. Shortages of biotin, folate, pantothenic acid, and copper are reported in fast foods
• D. Studies reveal that protein is lacking in most menu items

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D'. Fast food is generally not deficient in protein since it often contains meat, a significant source of protein. On the other hand, fast food is known to lack essential nutrients like Vitamin A and certain minerals, as mentioned in choices 'A' and 'C'. Choice 'B' is also accurate as many fast food establishments have started offering healthier options such as salads due to customer demands. Therefore, all options are true except 'D', which makes it the exception.
