MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
a. obtaining a patient’s health history.
b. administering drugs in the office.
c. handling emergency situations.
d. selection of a nonprescription medication.
e. All of the above
ANS: E
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.

usually have relatively fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking
medication for systemic diseases may require special handling in the dental office.

states. b. are not drugs.
c. can cause adverse effects.
d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.

4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
a. Brand name
b. Code name
c. Generic name
d. Trade name
ANS: C
Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the “official” name of
the drug. Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name
Council, and the name is not capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and
is capitalized. Although the brand name is technically the name of the company marketing the
product, this term is often used interchangeably with the trade name. The code name is the
initial term used within a pharmaceutical company to refer to a drug while it is undergoing
investigation and is often a combination of capital letters and numbers, the letters representing
an abbreviation of the company name.
