MULTIPLE CHOICE v




1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
v v v v v v v


a. obtaining a patient’s health history. v v v v


b. administering drugs in the office. v v v v


c. handling emergency situations. v v


d. selection of a nonprescription medication. v v v v


e. All of the above.v v v




ANS: E v


All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs, knowledge of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to health history questions.
v v v v v v v v v v v v


Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications obviously helps in their proper
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


administration in the office. Emergency situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


knowledge of pharmacology is of great help, especially because a rapid response is sometimes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


required. A clear understanding of the concepts of drug action, drug handling by the body, and drug
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


interactions will allow the dental practitioner to make proper judgments and grasp the concepts
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


relevant to new drug therapies on the market.

2. Which of the following statements is true regarding planning appointments?
v v v v v v v v v


a. Whether or not patients are taking medication for systemic diseases is of little
v v v v v v v v v v v v


consequence in the dental office. v v v v


b. Asthmatic patients should have dental appointments in the morning.
v v v v v v v v


c. Diabetic patients usually have fewer problems with a morning appointment
v v v v v v v v v


compared with afternoon appointments.
v v v v


d. Both B and C are true. v v v v v




ANS: D v


Asthmatic patients who experience dental anxiety should schedule their appointments when they are
v v v v v v v v v v v v


not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients usually have relatively fewer
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for systemic diseases may require
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


special handling in the dental office.

,3. Nutritional or herbal supplements v v v


a. carry the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for disease states.
v v v v v v v v v v v


b. are not drugs. v v


c. can cause adverse effects. v v v


d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.
v v v v v v v v v v




ANS: C v


Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The majority of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


nutritional or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating disease states. These
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


supplements are drugs and can cause adverse effects and interact with different drugs.

4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
v v v v v v v v v v


a. Brand name v


b. Code name v


c. Generic name v


d. Trade name v




ANS: C v


Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


name is not capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


the brand name is technically the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


interchangeably with the trade name. The code name is the initial term used within a pharmaceutical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


company to refer to a drug while it is undergoing investigation and is often a combination of capital
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


letters and numbers, the letters representing an abbreviation of the company name.

v v v v v v v


a. pharmaceutical company manufacturing it. v v v


b. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). v v v v


c. U.S. Adopted Name Council. v v v


d. Federal Patent Office. v v




ANS: C v


Each drug is assigned only one generic name (e.g., ibuprofen). It is selected by the U.S. Adopted
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Name Council. The generic name is not selected by the FDA or the Federal Patent Office. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug clearly has an influence on the generic name given
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


its drug, but the final decision is not the company’s.

v v v v v v v v v v v v


a. A drug may only have one generic name and one trade name.
v v v v v v v v v v v

, b. A drug may only have one generic name, but it may have several trade names.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


d. A drug may have several generic names and several trade names.
v v v v v v v v v v




ANS: B v


Each drug has only one generic name but may have several trade names. For each drug, there is only
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


one generic name. It is not capitalized, and it becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade name is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


protected by the Federal Patent Law for 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date, plus patent term
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


extensions. Although the brand name is technically the name of the company marketing the product, it
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


is often used interchangeably with the trade name.

7. Two drugs that are found to be chemically equivalent, but not biologically equivalent or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


vtherapeutically equivalent are said to differ in v v v v v v


a. potency.
b. efficacy.
c. bioavailability.
d. therapeutic index. v




ANS: C v


A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These
v v v v v v v v v v v v


products are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


drug required to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


can be produced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


experimental animals divided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


of the therapeutic index is small, toxicity is more likely.

8. How many years must pass after a drug patent expires before other drug companies can market the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


vsame compound as a generic drug?
v v v v v


a. 20 years v


b. 17 years v


c. 7 years v


d. 0 years v




ANS: D v


Once a drug patent expires, competing companies may immediately market the same compound in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


generic form. The pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


trade name is protected by the Federal Patent Law for 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


plus the patent term extensions.
