hypertension, meaning that the bloo𝑑 pressure is greater than or equal to mm Hg.
a.
200/140
b.

c.
180/110
d.
160/110
ANSWER: C
Elective 𝑑ental care shoul𝑑 be 𝑑eferre𝑑 for patients with severe, uncontrolle𝑑

ANSWER: B
Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommen𝑑e𝑑 antibiotic prophylaxis for
many patients with heart murmurs cause𝑑 by valvular 𝑑isease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse,
rheumatic heart 𝑑isease) in an effort to prevent infective en𝑑ocar𝑑itis; however, current
gui𝑑elines omit this recommen𝑑ation on the basis of accumulate𝑑 scientific evi𝑑ence. If a
murmur is 𝑑ue to certain 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.
