MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to mm Hg.
a. 200/140
b. 180/140
c. 180/110
d. 160/110
ANSWER: C
Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be
brought under control.
2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient
with which of the following cardiac conditions?
a. Mitral valve prolapse
b. Prosthetic heart valve
c. Rheumatic heart disease
d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias
ANSWER: B
Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for
many patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse,
rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current
guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a
murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic
heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend
antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.
3. One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased ability of
the body to certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize
d. excrete
ANSWER: C
Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of liver
function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient metabolism of
certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
4. Which of the following symptoms and signs is most consistent with allergy?
a. Heart palpitations
b. Itching
c. Vomiting
d. Fainting

ANSWER: B
Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
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.
5. Which nof nthe nfollowing nis ntrue nof nthe npatient nwith na nhistory nof ntuberculosis?
a. A npositive nresult non nskin ntesting nmeans nthat nthe nperson nhas nactive nTB.
b. Most npatients nwho nbecome npositive nskin ntesters ndevelop nactive ndisease.
c. Patients nwith nacquired nimmunodeficiency nsyndrome n(AIDS) nhave na nhigh
incidence nof ntuberculosis.
n
d. A ndiagnosis nof nactive nTB nis nmade nby na npurified nprotein nderivative n(PPD) nskin ntest.
ANSWER: n C
The npotential ncoexistence nof ntuberculosis nand nacquired nimmunodeficiency nsyndrome
n(AIDS) nshould nbe nexplored nbecause npatients nwith nAIDS nhave na nhigh nincidence nof
ntuberculosis. nA npositive nresult non nskin ntesting nmeans nspecifically nthat nthe nperson nhas nat
nsome ntime nbeen ninfected nwith nTB, nnot nnecessarily nthat nactive ndisease nis npresent. nMost
npatients nwho nbecome npositive nskin ntesters ndo nnot ndevelop nactive ndisease. nA ndiagnosis nof
nactive nTB nis nmade nby nchest nx-ray, nimaging, nsputum nculture, nand nclinical nexamination.
6. Vasoconstrictors nshould nbe navoided nin npatients nwho ncocaine nor nmethamphetamine
users nbecause nthese nagents nmay nprecipitate
n .
a. severe nhypotension
b. severe nhypertension
c. respiratory ndepression
d. cessation nof nintestinal nperistalsis
ANSWER: n B
Vasoconstrictors nshould nbe navoided nin npatients nwho nare ncocaine nor nmethamphetamine nusers
nbecause nthe ncombination nmay nprecipitate narrhythmias, nMI, nor nsevere nhypertension.
7. It nhas nbeen nshown nthat nthe nrisk nfor noccurrence nof na nserious nperioperative ncardiovascular

a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANSWER: n A
Daily nactivities nrequiring n4 nMETs ninclude nlevel nwalking nat n4 nmiles/hour nor nclimbing na nflight nof
nstairs. nActivities nrequiring ngreater nthan n10 nMETs ninclude nswimming nand nsingles ntennis. nAn
nexercise ncapacity nof n10 nto n13 nMETs nindicates nexcellent nphysical nconditioning.
