MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in
a. obtaining a patient’s health history.
b. administering drugs in the office.
c. handling emergency situations.
d. selection of a nonprescription medication.
e. All of the above.
ANS: E
All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with
drugs, knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’
responses to health history questions. Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse
effects of medications obviously helps in their proper administration in the
office. Emergency situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus,
knowledge of pharmacology is of great help, especially because a rapid response is
sometimes required. A clear understanding of the concepts of drug action, drug
handling by the body, and drug interactions will allow the dental practitioner to
make proper judgments and grasp the concepts relevant to new drug therapies on the
market.

4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
a. Brand name
b. Code name
c. Generic name
d. Trade name
ANS: C
Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the
“official” name of the drug. Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected
by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the name is not capitalized. The brand name
is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although the brand name is
technically the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used
interchangeably with the trade name. The code name is the initial term used within
a pharmaceutical company to refer to a drug while it is undergoing investigation
and is often a combination of capital letters and numbers, the letters
representing an abbreviation of the company name.
