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

is for most dental procedures.

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

ANSWER: B xc
Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling, w

heezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as naus
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc

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

5. Which of the following is true of the patient with a history of tuberculosis?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
a. A positive result on skin testing means that the person has active TB.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
b. Most patients who become positive skin testers develop active disease.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
of tuberculosis.
xc
d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
ANSWER: C x c
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A posi
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
tive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been infected w
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
ith TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positive skin
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest x-
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.

6. Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who cocaine or methamphetamine users xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
because these agents may precipitate xc xc xc xc .
a. severe hypotension xc
b. severe hypertension xc
c. respiratory depression xc
d. cessation of intestinal peristalsis xc xc xc
ANSWER: B xc
Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine users be xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
cause the combination may precipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
7. It has been shown that the risk for occurrence of a serious perioperative cardiovascular event
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
(e.g., MI, heart failure) is increased in patients who are unable to meet a -
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
MET (metabolic equivalent of task) demand during normal daily activity.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
ANSWER: A xc
Daily activities requiring 4 METs include level walking at 4 miles/hour or climbing a flight of sta
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
irs. Activities requiring greater than 10 METs include swimming and singles tennis. An exercise
