ANS: e
Correct: 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. Incorrect choices: All of the choices are true.
