MULTIPLE CHOICE bt

2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



with which of the following cardiac conditions?
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



a. Mitral valve prolapse bt bt



b. Prosthetic heart valve bt bt



c. Rheumatic heart disease bt bt



d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias bt bt bt




ANSWER: B bt



Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



many patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse,
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.

ANSWER: B bt



Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but

rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic reactions.

bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt




ANSWER: b t C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt



positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest

x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
