Question 1
A patient presents for dental treatment and reports several chronic medical conditions and
multiple prescription medications. What is the most appropriate initial approach?
A. Proceed with treatment without further assessment
B. Obtain and evaluate a comprehensive medical history
, C. Ask the patient to stop all medications
D. Refer every patient with a medical condition to a hospital
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
A comprehensive medical history helps identify conditions, medications, allergies, and potential
treatment-related risks. This information allows the dental team to modify treatment when
necessary and coordinate care appropriately.
Section 1 — Medical History, Risk Assessment & Treatment Planning
1. Which component of the medical history is particularly important before prescribing a new
medication?
A. Patient's occupation
B. Current medications
C. Favorite foods
D. Previous orthodontic treatment
Answer: B
Rationale: Current medications can interact with drugs prescribed by the dentist and may also
indicate underlying medical conditions.
2. What is the primary purpose of assessing a patient's medical history before dental treatment?
A. To determine eligibility for cosmetic treatment
B. To identify medical factors that may influence dental care
C. To determine the patient's insurance status
D. To establish the patient's preferred appointment length
Answer: B
Rationale: Medical conditions and medications can alter treatment risks, drug selection, healing,
and management of emergencies.
3. Which finding should generally prompt the dentist to obtain additional information before
proceeding with elective invasive treatment?
A. History of controlled seasonal allergies
B. Unclear history of a significant cardiovascular condition
C. Previous dental cleaning
D. Mild tooth discoloration
Answer: B
Rationale: An unclear history of significant systemic disease may represent an important
treatment risk and should be clarified.
