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
XE
B. 180/140
C. 180/110
D. 160/110

ANS: C
Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled
LI
hypertension, which is blood pressure of greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until

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
AR
C. rheumatic heart disease
D. pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias

ANS: B
Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis
for many patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve
Y
prolapse, rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; current
guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a
murmur is due to 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. Patients with pacemakers do not
require antibiotic prophylaxis.
