MULTIPLECHOICE t




1. Electivedental careshould bedeferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
t t t t t t t t t t t




meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to
t t t t t t t t t t t mm Hg. t




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




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




which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




brought under control.
t t t




2. The American Heart Association currentlyrecommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient with
t t t t t t t t t t t




which of the following cardiac conditions?
t t t t t t




a. Mitral valve prolapse t t




b. Prosthetic heart valve t t




c. Rheumatic heart disease t t




d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias t t t




ANSWER: B t




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




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




heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current guidelines omit this
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to certain
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex
t t t t t t t t t t




congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for
t t t t t t t t t t t t




most dental procedures.

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




body to
t t certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics. t t t t t t




a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize
d. excrete
ANSWER: C t




Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of liver
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient metabolism of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t




certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.

ANSWER: B t




Symptoms and signs consistent with allergyinclude itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
t t t t t t t t t t t




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




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




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




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




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




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




c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiencysyndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence of t t t t t t t t t t




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




ANSWER: C t




The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
t t t t t t t t t




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




result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been infected with TB,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positive skin testers do not
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made bychest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




and clinical examination.
t t t




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




because these agents may precipitate
t t t t t .
a. severe hypotension t




b. severe hypertension t




c. respiratory depression t




d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis t t t




ANSWER: B t




Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine users t t t t t t t t t t t




because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
t t t t t t t t t t




7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative cardiovascular event (e.g.,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable to meet a -MET (metabolic equivalent of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




task) demand during normal daily activity.
t t t t t t




a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANSWER: A t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t




Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and singles tennis. An exercise
t t t t t t t t t t t t t




capacity of 10 to 13 METs indicates excellent physical conditioning.
t t t t t t t t t t
