TEST BANK Applied Pharmacology for the Dental

Hygienist 9th Edition by Elena Haveles A+
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.

b. Asthmatic patients should have dental appointments in the morning.

c. Diabetic patients usually have fewer problems with a morning appointment compared

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.

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.

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

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.
