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
C. 180/110
D. 160/110
Ans>> c
Elective dental care should be deferred for patients with severe, uncontrolled
hypertension, which is blood pressure of greater than or equal to 180/110 mm hg, until
the condition can be brought under control.
A. 200/140 – this represents an extreme hypertensive crisis; however, the clinical cutoff
for deferring elective dental treatment is reached earlier at 180/110 mm hg.
B. 180/140 – although this indicates severe hypertension, the systolic/diastolic threshold
used clinically is 180/110 mm hg; the diastolic value here exceeds that threshold but is
not the standard criterion cited.
D. 160/110 – this blood pressure is elevated but does not meet the definition of severe,
uncontrolled hypertension that mandates deferral of elective dental care.
