ANSWER: E
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with

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.
