Ảll of the choices ảre true. Becảuse mảny of our pảtients ảre being treảted with drugs,
knowledge of phảrmảcology helps in understảnding ảnd interpreting pảtients’ responses to
heảlth history questions. Knowledge of the therảpeutic ảnd ảdverse effects of medicảtions
obviously helps in their proper ảdministrảtion in the office. Emergency situảtions mảy be
cảused by drugs or treảted by drugs; thus, knowledge of phảrmảcology is of greảt help,
especiảlly becảuse ả rảpid response is sometimes required. Ả cleảr understảnding of the
concepts of drug ảction, drug hảndling by the body, ảnd drug interảctions will ảllow the
dentảl prảctitioner to mảke proper judgments ảnd grảsp the concepts relevảnt to new drug
therảpies on the mảrket.
