MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
a. obtaining a patient’s health history.
b. administering drugs in the office.
c. handling emergency situations.
d. selection of a nonprescription
medication.
e. All of the above.
ANSWER: E
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs,
knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’
responses to health history questions. Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects
of medications obviously helps in their proper administration in the office. Emergency
situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus, knowledge of
pharmacology is of great help, especially because a rapid response is sometimes
required. A clear understanding of the concepts of drug action, drug handling by the
body, and drug interactions will allow the dental practitioner to make proper judgments
and grasp the concepts relevant to new drug therapies on the market.

when they are not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients
usually have relatively fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking
medication for systemic diseases may require special handling in the dental office.
