Transcript text: Question 20
1 Point
Once the patient is seated and reclined, the assistant will position the light on the patient's chest approximately 25-30 inches below the patients chin before adjusting it into position.
(A) True
(B) False
Solution
The answer is (B) False.
Explanation:
The correct procedure for positioning the dental light typically involves placing it above the patient's oral cavity, not on the patient's chest. The light should be adjusted to illuminate the mouth area directly to provide the dentist with a clear view. Placing the light on the patient's chest would not be effective for this purpose. Therefore, the statement in the question is incorrect.
