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.
ANSWER: 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.

Asthmatic patients who experience dental anxiety should schedule their appointments when
they are not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients usually have
relatively fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for
systemic diseases may require special handling in the dental office.
