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
ANSWER: C
Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension, which is blood
pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be brought under control.
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
ANSWER: 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; however, current guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of
accumulated scientific evidence. If a murmur is due to certain 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.
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.
