ANSWER: E dt d t


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

drugs, knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting

patients’ 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.
