Question 4

A recent dental hygiene graduate is preparing to apply for jobs and wants to use her portfolio as part of the interview process. She has heard that the dentist is looking for a dental hygienist with experience with a very diverse client population. The student decides to amend her charts of client experiences to show a greater number of clients seen than she actually cared for during her dental hygiene education. Which ethical principal did the student violate?

A) Autonomy
B) Veracity
C) Nonmaleficence
D) Beneficence

Accepted Answer

Veracity is the duty to be honest and tell the truth. In this case the dental hygienist was altering her portfolio, which is dishonest. Autonomy is the right of the client to make decisions regarding his or her healthcare. Nonmaleficence is an ethical term that means "do no harm." Beneficence is an ethical principal to do with the well-being of clients, meaning the dental hygienist has a duty to benefit or "do good" for the client.

Accepted Answer

Initially an e-portfolio will take some time to learn the platform and requires some technical skills, such as word processing, uploading documents, images, and other electronic files. The e-portfolio does have the advantage over a paper-based portfolio in terms of archiving artifacts electronically. Historical artifacts can be saved as a career progresses. The e-portfolio has the advantage over a paper-based portfolio in being portable and compact due to the nature of the electronic format. The e-portfolio is "greener" because paper is not required and the storage of it is electronic.

A résumé should be a brief document succinctly summarizing an individual's education, employment history, and experiences relevant to a specific employment position. The curriculum vitae (CV), as the Latin term implies, is an overview of a person's lifetime of professional activities. The CV is an ongoing documentation of one's employment, education, teaching, publications, honors, and volunteer activities.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Posting personal information about personal life, family, and hobbies is not appropriate in a student or professional portfolio and is not germane to a Philosophy of Practice statement. Defining career goals and objectives makes it clear to potential employers or graduate schools what the intended career development path is and if it is a good fit mutually. Knowledge and application of the ethical considerations of dental hygiene practice is a valid aspect in a portfolio and a Philosophy of Practice statement. Commitment and experience with cultural diversity is an important skill for the dental hygienist and could strengthen a Philosophy of Practice statement.

Question 10

The use of music lyrics or poetry to add interest to a portfolio:&#10;A) is always allowed under the fair use guidelines.&#10;B) requires permission from the copyright holder.&#10;C) is not appropriate in a professional portfolio.&#10;D) is exempt from copyright laws.

Accepted Answer

Musical lyrics and poetry are protected by copyright, and permission from the copyright holder must be obtained before use. Correct attribution must be given to the copyright holder. While portions of another person's work may be used for educational purposes under fair use, provided that there is no intended profit, it is always best to get permission from the copyright holder. Work from outside sources should be used sparingly in a professional portfolio since the portfolio is designed to be a representation of the individual's own work. The writers of poetry and music along with authors and artists and other creators of work are protected by copyright law for the lifetime of the creator plus a specified number of years. The copyright owner must give consent to have their work used.
