MULTIPLE CHOICE x
1. Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
x x x x x x x x x x x
meaning that the blood pressure is greater than or equal to
x x x x x x x x x x x mm Hg. x
a. 200/140
b. 180/140
c. 180/110
d. 160/110
ANSWER: C x
Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension,
x x x x x x x x x x x
which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
brought under control.
x x x
2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient
x x x x x x x x x x
with which of the following cardiac conditions?
x x x x x x x
a. Mitral valve prolapse x x
b. Prosthetic heart valve x x
c. Rheumatic heart disease x x
d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias x x x
ANSWER: B x
Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for many
x x x x x x x x x x
patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse, rheumatic
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current guidelines omit
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex
x x x x x x x x x x x
congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for
x x x x x x x x x x x x
most dental procedures.

3. One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased ability of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x the body to
x x certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
x x x x x x
a. absorb
b. distribute
c. metabolize
d. excrete
ANSWER: C x
Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of liver
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
function. This deficit may result in prolonged bleeding and less efficient metabolism of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
x x x x x x x
4. Which of the following symptoms and signs is most consistent with allergy?
x x x x x x x x x x x

ANSWER: B x
Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
x x x x x x x x x x x
wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
rather are manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic reactions.
x x x x x x x x x x x x
5. Which of the following is true of the patient with a history of tuberculosis?
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
a. A positive result on skin testing means that the person has active TB.
x x x x x x x x x x x x
b. Most patients who become positive skin testers develop active disease.
x x x x x x x x x
c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence of
x x x x x x x x x x
tuberculosis.
x
d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ANSWER: C x
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
x x x x x x x x x
should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
x x x x x x x
6. Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who cocaine or methamphetamine users x x x x x x x x x x
because these agents may precipitate
x x x x x .
a. severe hypotension x
b. severe hypertension x
c. respiratory depression x
d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis x x x
ANSWER: B x
Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine users
x x x x x x x x x x x
because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
x x x x x x x x x x
7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative cardiovascular event
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
(e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable to meet a -MET (metabolic
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
equivalent of task) demand during normal daily activity.
x x x x x x x x
a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANSWER: A x
Daily activities requiring 4 METs include level walking at 4 miles/hour or climbing a flight of stairs.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and singles tennis. An exercise
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
capacity of 10 to 13 METs indicates excellent physical conditioning.
x x x x x x x x x x
8. Which of the following alterations in the fingernails is associated with cirrhosis?
x x x x x x x x x x x
a. Yellowing
b. Clubbing
c. White discoloration x
d. Splinter hemorrhages x
