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
M

c. 180/110
d. 160/110

ANS: C
ED

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?
C

a. Mitral valve prolapse
b. Prosthetic heart valve
c. Rheumatic heart disease
O

d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias
ANS: B
N

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
N

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
O

antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.

the body to certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.
IS

a. absorb

c. metabolize
SE

ANS: B
Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling,
wheezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as
nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but
rather are 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?

b. Most patients who become positive skin testers develop active disease.

M

of tuberculosis.
d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
ED

ANS: C
The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A
positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been
infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become
positive skin testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest
C

x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
