1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




a. obtaining a patient’s health history. @sx @sx @sx @sx




b. administering drugs in the office. @sx @sx @sx @sx




c. handling emergency situations. @sx @sx




d. selection of a nonprescription @sx @sx @sx




medication.
@sx




e. All of the above. @sx @sx @ sx




ANSWER: @ s x
E
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs,
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




health history questions. Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




obviously helps in their proper administration in the office. Emergency situations may be
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus, knowledge of pharmacology is of great help,
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




especially because a rapid response is sometimes required. A clear understanding of the
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




concepts of drug action, drug handling by the body, and drug interactions will allow the
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




dental practitioner to make proper judgments and grasp the concepts relevant to new drug
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




therapies on the market.

ANSWER: @ s x
D
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
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




relatively fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for systemic
@sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx @sx




diseases may require special handling in the dental office.

, 3. Nutritional or herbal supplements
a. carry the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for disease states.
b. are not drugs.
c. can cause adverse effects.
d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.

ANSWER: C
Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The majority of
nutritional or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating disease states. These
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?
a. Brand name
b. Code name
c. Generic name
d. Trade name

ANSWER: 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.

5. A drug’s generic name is selected by the
a. pharmaceutical company manufacturing it.
b. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
c. U.S. Adopted Name Council.
d. Federal Patent Office.

ANSWER: C
Each drug is assigned only one generic name (e.g., ibuprofen). It is selected by the U.S. Adopted
Name Council. The generic name is not selected by the FDA or the Federal Patent Office. The
pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug clearly has an influence on the generic name given
its drug, but the final decision is not the company’s.
