A test bank for *Little and Falace’s Dental Management of the Medically Compromised Patient, 10th Edition* is a supplementary study resource containing a structured collection of exam-style questions—such as multiple-choice and clinical case-based items—organized according to the textbook’s chapters. It is designed to help dental students and educators assess and reinforce understanding of how systemic medical conditions (like cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune disorders) influence dental treatment planning and patient management. Typically, it includes answers and explanations to support learning, making it useful for exam preparation, self-assessment, and teaching, though it is intended to complement—not replace—the main textbook.

MULTIPLE CHOICE mk




1. Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


hypertension, meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to mm Hg.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


a. 200/140
b. 180/140
c. 180/110
d. 160/110
ANSWER: C mk


Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


hypertension, which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg,
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


until the condition can be brought under control.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk




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


patient with which of the following cardiac conditions?
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


a. Mitral valve prolapse mk mk


b. Prosthetic heart valve mk mk


c. Rheumatic heart disease mk mk


d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias mk mk mk




ANSWER: B mk


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


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


prolapse, rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis;
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


however, current guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g.,
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


procedures.

3. One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


mk ability of the body to
mk mk mk mk certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
mk mk mk mk mk mk


a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize

ANSWER: C mk


Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


of liver function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


efficient metabolism of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.

ANSWER: B mk


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


swelling, wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


of an allergic origin but rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


effects, or psychogenic reactions.
mk mk mk mk




5. Which of the following is true of the patient with a history of tuberculosis?
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


a. A positive result on skin testing means that the person has active TB.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


b. Most patients who become positive skin testers develop active disease.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


incidence of tuberculosis.
mk mk mk


d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk




ANSWER: m k C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


(AIDS) should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


tuberculosis. A positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


at some time been infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present.
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


Most patients who become positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


diagnosis of active TB is made by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


examination.
mk




6. Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who cocaine or methamphetamine
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


users because these agents may precipitate .
mk mk mk mk mk mk


a. severe hypotension mk


b. severe hypertension mk


c. respiratory depression mk


d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis mk mk mk




ANSWER: B mk


Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


users because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


hypertension.
mk




7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


cardiovascular event (e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


to meet a -MET (metabolic equivalent of task) demand during normal daily
mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


activity.
mk


a. 4

mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk mk


flight of stairs. Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and

conditioning.
