Chapter 01. Patient Evaluation And Risk Assessment

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Elective Dental Care Should Be Deferred For Patients With Severe, Uncontrolled
Hypertension, Meaning That The Blood Pressure Is Greater Than Or Equal To Mm
Hg.
A. 200/140
B. 180/140
C. 180/110
D. 160/110
ANS: C
Elective Dental Care Should Be Deferred For Patients With Severe, Uncontrolled
Hypertension, Which Is Blood Pressure Of Greater Than Or Equal To 180/110 Mm Hg,
Until The Condition Can Be Brought Under Control.
A. 200/140 – This Represents An Extreme Hypertensive Crisis; However, The Clinical
Cutoff For Deferring Elective Dental Treatment Is Reached Earlier At 180/110 Mm Hg.
B. 180/140 – Although This Indicates Severe Hypertension, The Systolic/Diastolic
Threshold Used Clinically Is 180/110 Mm Hg; The Diastolic Value Here Exceeds That
Threshold But Is Not The Standard Criterion Cited.
D. 160/110 – This Blood Pressure Is Elevated But Does Not Meet The Definition Of
Severe, Uncontrolled Hypertension That Mandates Deferral Of Elective Dental Care.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 4
,2. The American Heart Association Currently Recommends Antibiotic Prophylaxis For A
Patient With Which Of The Following Cardiac Conditions?
A. Mitral Valve Prolapse
B. Prosthetic Heart Valve
C. Rheumatic Heart Disease
D. Pacemakers For Cardiac Arrhythmias
ANS: B
Previously, The American Heart Association (AHA) Recommended Antibiotic
Prophylaxis For Many Patients With Heart Murmurs Caused By Valvular Disease (E.G.,
Mitral Valve Prolapse, Rheumatic Heart Disease) In An Effort To Prevent Infective
Endocarditis; Current Guidelines Omit This Recommendation On The Basis Of
Accumulated Scientific Evidence. If A Murmur Is Due To Specific Cardiac Conditions
(E.G., Previous Endocarditis, Prosthetic Heart Valve, Complex Congenital Cyanotic
Heart Disease), The AHA Continues To Recommend Antibiotic Prophylaxis For Most
Dental Procedures. Patients With Pacemakers Do Not Require Antibiotic Prophylaxis.
A. Mitral Valve Prolapse – This Condition No Longer Requires Antibiotic Prophylaxis
Under Current AHA Guidelines Due To Lack Of Evidence Supporting Benefit.
C. Rheumatic Heart Disease – Although Once An Indication, It Is No Longer Included In
Current AHA Recommendations Unless Other High-Risk Factors Are Present.
D. Pacemakers For Cardiac Arrhythmias – Pacemakers Are Electronic Devices And Do
Not Increase The Risk Of Infective Endocarditis; Therefore, Prophylaxis Is Not
Indicated.
PTS: 1 REF: Pp. 4-5
3. One Consequence Of Chronic Hepatitis (B Or C) Or Cirrhosis Of The Liver Is
Decreased Ability Of The Body To Certain Drugs, Including Local Anesthetics And
Analgesics.
, A. Absorb
B. Distribute
C. Metabolize
D. Excrete
ANS: C
Patients With Chronic Hepatitis (B Or C) Or Cirrhosis Have An Associated Impairment
Of Liver Function. This Deficit May Result In Prolonged Bleeding And Less Efficient
Metabolism Of Certain Drugs, Including Local Anesthetics And Analgesics.
A. Absorb – Drug Absorption Primarily Occurs In The Gastrointestinal Tract And Is Not
Significantly Affected By Liver Disease.
B. Distribute – Drug Distribution Depends Mainly On Blood Flow And Protein Binding;
While Liver Disease May Affect Proteins, Metabolism Is The Primary Concern.
D. Excrete – Drug Excretion Is Mainly A Renal Function; Although Some Drugs Are
Excreted In Bile, The Liver’s Primary Role Affecting Drugs Is Metabolism.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 6
4. Which Of The Following Symptoms And Signs Is Most Consistent With Allergy?
A. Heart Palpitations
B. Itching
C. Vomiting
D. Fainting
ANS: B
Symptoms And Signs Consistent With Allergy Include Itching, Urticaria (Hives), Rash,
Swelling, Wheezing, Angioedema, Runny Nose, And Tearing Eyes. Isolated Signs And
Symptoms Such As Nausea, Vomiting, Heart Palpitations, And Fainting Generally Are
Not Of An Allergic Origin But Rather Are Manifestations Of Drug Intolerance, Adverse
Side Effects, Or Psychogenic Reactions.
