Final answer:
The required number of continuing education units for infection control, California Dental Practice Act, and Basic Life Support for dental professionals in California is most plausibly 10 units (Option C), encompassing 2 units each for infection control and the Dental Practice Act, plus a valid BLS certification.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of continuing education units required for a student in the state of California for topics such as infection control, the California Dental Practice Act, and Basic Life Support (BLS) is specified by regulations for dental professionals. To maintain licensure and ensure proficiency in these critical areas, dental professionals must complete certain Continuing Education (CE) hours. The specific number of units required for infection control and the California Dental Practice Act is 2 CE units each, and Basic Life Support must be current at all times, typically requiring a renewal every two years. However, the question appears to have multiple-choice answers which do not align directly with the typical CE requirements. When we are given that 'Two of them will add together to give the resultant,' and 'All of them will add together to give the resultant,' we can interpret that this could mean 2 units for infection control, 2 units for California Dental Practice Act, and a valid Basic Life Support certification would fulfill the requirement. Therefore, the answer seems to be a combination of these educational units, resulting in either a combined total of a certain number or needing to have each requirement met separately:
- Option C suggests that 10 units are required, which could mean the two 2-unit requirements plus BLS.
- Option D suggests that a total of 15 units are required for all.
Based on the standard CE unit requirements, the most appropriate answer would be 10 units, making the answer Option C (10 units) more plausible.
