MULTIPLE CHOICE gy




1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



a. obtaining a patient’s health history. gy gy gy gy


b. administering drugs in the office. gy gy gy gy


c. handling emergency situations. gy gy


d. selection of a nonprescription gy gy gy


medication.
gy


e. All of the above.gy gy gy




ANSWER: g y E
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs,
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to health
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



history questions. Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications obviously
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



helps in their proper administration in the office. Emergency situations may be caused by
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



drugs or treated by drugs; thus, knowledge of pharmacology is of great help, especially
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



because a rapid response is sometimes required. A clear understanding of the concepts of drug
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



action, drug handling by the body, and drug interactions will allow the dental practitioner to
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



make proper judgments and grasp the concepts relevant to new drug therapies on the market.

2. Which of the following statements is true regarding planning appointments?
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



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


little
gy



consequence in the dental office. gy gy gy gy


b. Asthmatic patients should have dental appointments in the morning.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


c. Diabetic patients usually have fewer problems with a morning appointment
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



compared with afternoon appointments. gy gy gy


d. Both B and C are true. gy gy gy gy gy




ANSWER: g y D
Asthmatic patients who experience dental anxiety should schedule their appointments when they
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


are not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients usually have relatively
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for systemic diseases
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy

, may require special handling in the dental office.

3. Nutritional or herbal supplements gy gy gy



a. carry the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for disease

states. gy


b. are not drugs. gy gy


c. can cause adverse effects. gy gy gy


d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy




ANSWER: g y C
Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



majority of nutritional or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



disease states. These supplements are drugs and can cause adverse effects and interact
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



with different drugs.

4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


a. Brand name gy


b. Code name gy



c. Generic name gy


d. Trade name gy




ANSWER: g y C
Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the “official” name of the
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



drug. Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



Council, and the name is not capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



is capitalized. Although the brand name is technically the name of the company marketing the
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



product, this term is often used interchangeably with the trade name. The code name is the
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



initial term used within a pharmaceutical company to refer to a drug while it is undergoing
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



investigation and is often a combination of capital letters and numbers, the letters representing
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy



an abbreviation of the company name.
