MULTIPLE CHOICE xz




1. Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



xz meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz mm Hg. xz



a. 200/140
b. 180/140
c. 180/110
d. 160/110
ANS: C xz



Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



hypertension, which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



condition can be brought under control.
xz xz xz xz xz xz




2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



with which of the following cardiac conditions?
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



a. Mitral valve prolapse xz xz



b. Prosthetic heart valve xz xz



c. Rheumatic heart disease xz xz



d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias xz xz xz




ANS: B xz



Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



many patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse,
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.
xz xz xz xz xz xz




3. One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased ability
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



of the body to
xz xz xz xz certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
xz xz xz xz xz xz



a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize
d. excrete
ANS: C xz



Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



liver function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



metabolism of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz




4. Which of the following symptoms and signs is most consistent with allergy?
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



a. Heart palpitations xz



b. Itching
c. Vomiting
d. Fainting

ANS: B xz



Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



reactions.
xz




5. Which of the following is true of the patient with a history of tuberculosis?
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



a. A positive result on skin testing means that the person has active TB.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



b. Most patients who become positive skin testers develop active disease.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



of tuberculosis.
xz xz



d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz




ANS: x z C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



(AIDS) should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



tuberculosis. A positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



some time been infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



patients who become positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



active TB is made by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz




6. Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who cocaine or methamphetamine users xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



because these agents may precipitate
xz xz xz xz xz .
a. severe hypotension xz



b. severe hypertension xz



c. respiratory depression xz



d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis xz xz xz




ANS: B xz



Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine users xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz




7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative cardiovascular
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



event (e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable to meet a -MET
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



(metabolic equivalent of task) demand during normal daily activity.
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANS: A xz



Daily activities requiring 4 METs include level walking at 4 miles/hour or climbing a flight
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



of stairs. Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and singles tennis.
