MULTIPLE CHOICE nb




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


n, meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb mm Hg. nb


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


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


n, which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition c
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


an be brought under control.
nb nb nb nb




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


nt with which of the following cardiac conditions?
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


a. Mitral valve prolapse nb nb


b. Prosthetic heart valve nb nb


c. Rheumatic heart disease nb nb


d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias nb nb nb




ANSWER: B nb


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


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


rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current gui
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


delines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a mur
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


mur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic hear
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


t valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend anti
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


biotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.
nb nb nb nb nb




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


of the body to
b nb nb nb certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
nb nb nb nb nb nb


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


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


ver function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient metaboli
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


sm of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb

ANSWER: B nb


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


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


nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic reaction
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


s.

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

nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


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


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


e of tuberculosis.
nb nb


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




ANSWER: n b C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AID
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


S) should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


A positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by c
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


hest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb




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


rs because these agents may precipitate
nb nb nb nb nb .
a. severe hypotension nb


b. severe hypertension nb


c. respiratory depression nb


d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis nb nb nb




ANSWER: B nb

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

nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb

MET (metabolic equivalent of task) demand during normal daily activity.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


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


Daily activities requiring 4 METs include level walking at 4 miles/hour or climbing a flight o
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


f stairs. Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and singles tennis. An
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb


exercise capacity of 10 to 13 METs indicates excellent physical conditioning.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb




8. Which of the following alterations in the fingernails is associated with cirrhosis?
