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. lifelong learning.
e. all of the above.
ANS: E
Correct: All of the choices are true.
Incorrect choices: 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.

appointment.

taking medication for systemic diseases may require special handling in the dental
office.

pp. 3-4 OBJ: 1
4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
a. Brand name
b. Code name
c. Generic name
d. Trade name
ANS: C
Correct: Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the
“official” name of the drug. Each drug is assigned only one generic name selected by
the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the name is not capitalized.
Incorrect choices: 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.
