[Verified Answer]: Audra is a 40-year-old mother of four

Audra is a 40-year-old mother of four. In addition to her full-time job as a mother, she cares for her elderly parents. While she is fairly consistent with maintaining her 6-month preventive appointments, she admits to not being consistent with her oral hygiene routine. She uses a manual toothbrush and admits to buying “whatever” toothbrush is on sale. She reports brushing once a day in the morning. She rarely brushes her tongue. She presents with a chief complaint to Jean, the dental hygienist, of bleeding around the lower front teeth and “bad breath.” The oral examination indicates 2 mm of recession on the facials of #6 and #11 and generalized marginal biofilm, especially in sextant 5 where there is moderate crowding. Audra is interested in an electric toothbrush and asks Jean about her opinion. Jean states, “Anything works if you use it properly. You don’t need an electric toothbrush. Besides, I don’t use one and my gums are healthy.” Which core ethical values did Jean violate with regard to patient education? Explain how each applies to this scenario.
