Chapter 01: Information Sources, Regulatory Agencies, Drug Legislation, and Prescription
Writing
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.

consequence in the dental office.

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.

b. are not drugs.
c. can cause adverse effects.
d. will not interact with other drugs the patient may be taking.

a. Brand name
b. Code name

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.
