1. Electivedentalcareshouldbedeferred forpatientswithsevere,uncontrolledhypertension,
s s s s s s s s s s s




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




a. 200/140
b. 180/140
c. 180/110
d. 160/110
ANSWER: C s




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




which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be brought
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




under control.

2. TheAmerican Heart Association currentlyrecommends antibiotic prophylaxis forapatient with
s s s s s s s s s s s




which of the following cardiac conditions?
s s s s s s




a. Mitralvalveprolapse s s




b. Prostheticheartvalve s s




c. Rheumaticheartdisease s s




d. Pacemakers forcardiacarrhythmias s s s




ANSWER: B s




Previously,theAmerican HeartAssociation(AHA)recommended antibioticprophylaxisfor many
s s s s s s s s s s




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




disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current guidelines omit this
s s s s s s s s s s s s s




recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to certain
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex congenital
s s s s s s s s s s s




cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental
s s s s s s s s s s s s s




procedures.

ANSWER: B s




Symptoms and signsconsistent with allergyincludeitching, urticaria(hives), rash, swelling, s s s s s s s s s s s




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




vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but rather are
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




manifestations of drugintolerance, adverseside effects, or psychogenic reactions.

s tuberculosis.
d. Adiagnosis of active TB is madebya purified protein derivative (PPD)skin test.
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




ANSWER: C s




The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
s s s s s s s s s




should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A positive
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been infected with TB, not
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positiveskin testers do not
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




develop activedisease. Adiagnosis of activeTBis madebychest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture,
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




and clinical examination.
