MULTIPLE CHOICE ff

1. Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

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

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

hypertension, which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

condition can be brought under control.
ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

patient with which of the following cardiac conditions?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

a. Mitral valve prolapse ff ff

b. Prosthetic heart valve ff ff

c. Rheumatic heart disease ff ff

d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias ff ff ff

ANSWER: B ff

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

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

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

guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.
ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

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

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

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

liver function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

metabolism of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

4. Which of the following symptoms and signs is most consistent with allergy?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

ANSWER: B ff

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

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

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

rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic reactions.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

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

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

c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

of tuberculosis.
ff ff

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

ANSWER: f f C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

(AIDS) should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

tuberculosis. A positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

some time been infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

patients who become positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

active TB is made by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

users because these agents may precipitate
ff ff ff ff ff ff .
a. severe hypotension ff

b. severe hypertension ff

c. respiratory depression ff

d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis ff ff ff

ANSWER: B ff

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

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

7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative cardiovascular
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

event (e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable to meet a -MET
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

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

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

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

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

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