ANS: E v
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs, knowledge of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to health history questions.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications obviously helps in their proper
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
administration in the office. Emergency situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
knowledge of pharmacology is of great help, especially because a rapid response is sometimes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
required. A clear understanding of the concepts of drug action, drug handling by the body, and drug
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
interactions will allow the dental practitioner to make proper judgments and grasp the concepts
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
relevant to new drug therapies on the market.

a. Whether or not patients are taking medication for systemic diseases is of little

consequence in the dental office. v v v v

d. Both B and C are true. v v v v v
ANS: D v
Asthmatic patients who experience dental anxiety should schedule their appointments when they are
v v v v v v v v v v v v
not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients usually have relatively fewer
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for systemic diseases may require
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
special handling in the dental office.

Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The majority of

nutritional or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating disease states. These
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
supplements are drugs and can cause adverse effects and interact with different drugs.

v v v v v v v v v v
a. Brand name v
b. Code name v
c. Generic name v
d. Trade name v
ANS: C v
Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
name is not capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the brand name is technically the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
interchangeably with the trade name. The code name is the initial term used within a pharmaceutical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
company to refer to a drug while it is undergoing investigation and is often a combination of capital
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
letters and numbers, the letters representing an abbreviation of the company name.

Each drug is assigned only one generic name (e.g., ibuprofen). It is selected by the U.S. Adopted

Name Council. The generic name is not selected by the FDA or the Federal Patent Office. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug clearly has an influence on the generic name given

its drug, but the final decision is not the company’s.

Each drug has only one generic name but may have several trade names. For each drug, there is only
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
one generic name. It is not capitalized, and it becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade name is

a. potency.
b. efficacy.
c. bioavailability.
d. therapeutic index. v
ANS: C v
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These
v v v v v v v v v v v v
products are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
drug required to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
can be produced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
experimental animals divided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
of the therapeutic index is small, toxicity is more likely.

b. 17 years v

Once a drug patent expires, competing companies may immediately market the same compound in

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
