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

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

b. Itching
c. Vomiting

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