ACCURATE
ANSWER:- E
REASONING;->>Correct: All of the choices are true.
Incorrect choices: Because many of our hospital clients are being treated with medicine s,
knowledge of pharmacology helps in understanding and interpreting hospital clients’
responses to health history questions. Knowledge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of
medications obviously helps intheir proper administration in the office. Emergency situations
may be caused by medicine s or treated by medicine s; thus, knowledge of pharmacology is of
great help, especially because a rapidresponse is sometimes required. A clear understanding
of the concepts of medicine action, medicine handling by the body, and medicine interactions
will allow the dental practitioner to make proper judgments and grasp the concepts relevant to
new medicine therapies on the market.

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.
