TEST BANK Applied Pharmacology for the Dental Hygienist 9/E Elena Haveles
Chapter 01: Information Sources, Regulatory Agencies, Drug Legislation, and
Prescription Writing
Haveles: Applied Pharmacology for the Dental Hygienist, 9th Edition

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.

2. Which of the following statements is true regarding planning appointments?
a. Whether or not patients are taking medication for systemic diseases is of little
consequence in the dental office.
b. Asthmatic patients should have dental appointments in the morning.
c. Diabetic patients usually have fewer problems with a morning appointment
compared with afternoon appointments.
d. Both B and C are true.
ANS: D
Asthmatic patients who experience dental anxiety should schedule their appointments when
they are not rushed or under pressure early in the morning. Diabetic patients usually have
relatively fewer problems with a morning appointment. Patients taking medication for
systemic diseases may require special handling in the dental office.

3. Nutritional or herbal supplements
a. carry the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for disease states.

, b. are not drugs.
c. can cause adverse effects.
d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.
ANS: C
Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The majority of
nutritional or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating disease states. These
supplements are drugs and can cause adverse effects and interact with different drugs.

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.

5. A drug’s generic name is selected by the
a. pharmaceutical company manufacturing it.
b. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
c. U.S. Adopted Name Council.
d. Federal Patent Office.
ANS: C
Each drug is assigned only one generic name (e.g., ibuprofen). It is selected by the U.S.
Adopted Name Council. The generic name is not selected by the FDA or the Federal Patent
Office. The pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug clearly has an influence on the
generic name given its drug, but the final decision is not the company’s.

6. Which of the following is true concerning generic and trade names of drugs?
a. A drug may only have one generic name and one trade name.
b. A drug may only have one generic name, but it may have several trade names.
c. A drug may have several generic names, but it may only have one trade name.
d. A drug may have several generic names and several trade names.

, ANS: B
Each drug has only one generic name but may have several trade names. For each drug, there
is only one generic name. It is not capitalized, and it becomes the “official” name of the drug.
The pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade
name is protected by the Federal Patent Law for 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date,
plus patent term extensions. Although the brand name is technically the name of the company
marketing the product, it is often used interchangeably with the trade name.

7. Two drugs that are found to be chemically equivalent, but not biologically equivalent or
therapeutically equivalent are said to differ in
a. potency.
b. efficacy.
c. bioavailability.
d. therapeutic index.
ANS: C
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent.
These products are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of
the amount of drug required to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of
effect or response that can be produced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the
lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals divided by the effective dose for 50% of the
experimental animals. If the value of the therapeutic index is small, toxicity is more likely.

8. How many years must pass after a drug patent expires before other drug companies can
market the same compound as a generic drug?
a.20 years
b.17 years
c.7 years
d.0 years
ANS: D
Once a drug patent expires, competing companies may immediately market the same
compound in generic form. The pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug
a trade name. The trade name is protected by the Federal Patent Law for 20 years from the
earliest claimed filing date, plus the patent term extensions.

9. Two drug formulations that produce similar concentrations in the blood and tissues after drug
administration are termed _____ equivalent.
a. chemically
b. biologically
c. therapeutically

, ANS: B
Biologic equivalence refers to identical pharmacokinetic parameters of two drug formulations
(bioequivalence, for short). Chemical equivalence indicates that two formulations of a drug
meet the chemical and physical standards established by the regulatory agencies. Therapeutic
equivalence means that two formulations produce the same therapeutic effects over the same
duration.

10. The federal body that determines whether a drug is considered a controlled substance and to
which schedule it belongs is the
a.Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
b.Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
c.Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
d.U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP).
ANS: C
The DEA regulates the manufacture and distribution of substances with abuse potential.
Hence prescriber DEA numbers must appear on prescriptions for controlled substances. The
FDA does not have any special powers in regard to drugs of abuse. The FTC regulates
commerce and advertising claims of foods, over-the-counter (OTC) products, and cosmetics.
The USP regulates the uniformity and purity of drugs.

11. Which federal regulatory agency decides which drugs require a prescription and which drugs
may be sold over-the-counter (OTC)?
a.FDA
b.OSHA
c.FTC
d.DEA
ANS: A
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is part of Department of Human and Health
Services (DHHS), and determines what drugs may be sold by prescription and OTC and
regulates the labeling and advertising of prescription drugs. The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) ensures the safety and health of workers in the United States
by setting and enforcing standards. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates the trade
practices of drug companies and prohibits the false advertising of foods, nonprescription
(OTC) drugs, and cosmetics. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is a part of the
Department of Justice and regulates the manufacture and distribution of substances that have a
potential for abuse, including opioids, stimulants, and sedatives.
