MULTIPLE CHOICE Qg

Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


hypertension, meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to mm Hg.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


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


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


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


until the condition can be brought under control.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg




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


patient with which of the following cardiac conditions?
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


a. Mitral valve prolapse Qg Qg


b. Prosthetic heart valve Qg Qg


c. Rheumatic heart disease Qg Qg


d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias Qg Qg Qg




ANSWER: B Qg


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


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


prolapse, rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis;
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


however, current guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g.,
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


procedures.
Qg




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


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


a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize
d. excrete
ANSWER: C Qg


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


of liver function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


efficient metabolism of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg




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

ANSWER: B Qg


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


swelling, wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


of an allergic origin but rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


effects, or psychogenic reactions.
Qg Qg Qg Qg




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


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


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


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


incidence of tuberculosis.
Qg Qg Qg


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




ANSWER: Q g C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


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


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


at some time been infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


Most patients who become positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


diagnosis of active TB is made by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


examination.
Qg




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


users because these agents may precipitate .
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


a. severe hypotension Qg


b. severe hypertension Qg


c. respiratory depression Qg


d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis Qg Qg Qg




ANSWER: B Qg


Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


users because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


hypertension.
Qg




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


cardiovascular event (e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


to meet a -MET (metabolic equivalent of task) demand during normal daily activity.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANSWER: A Qg


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


flight of stairs. Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


singles tennis. An exercise capacity of 10 to 13 METs indicates excellent physical
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


conditioning.
Qg
