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

under control.

n n n n n




a. Mitralvalve prolapse n n




b. Prostheticheart valve n n




c. Rheumaticheartdisease n n




d. Pacemakers forcardiac arrhythmias n n n




ANSWER: B n




Previously,the American HeartAssociation(AHA) recommended antibioticprophylaxisfor many
n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




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




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




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




procedures.

ANSWER: B n




Symptoms and signs consistent with allergyincludeitching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling, n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




manifestations of drug intolerance, adverse side effects, or psychogenic reactions.

ntuberculosis.

n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




ANSWER: C n




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




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




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




necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positive skin testers do not
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TBis made bychest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




and clinical examination.

because the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
