If a murmur is due tocertain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, complex congenital cyanotic heart disease),the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures.3.One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased ability of the body to _________ certain drugs,including local anesthetics and analgesics.a.absorbb.distributec.metabolized.excreteANS:CPatients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of liver function. This deficit may result inprolonged bleeding and less efficient metabolism of certain drugs, including local anesthetics and analgesics.4.Which of the following symptoms and signs is most consistent with allergy?a.Heart palpitationsb.Itchingc.Vomitingd.FaintingANS:BSymptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling, wheezing, angioedema, runny nose,and tearing eyes.

A positive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at sometime been infected with TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positive skin testers do notdevelop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest x-ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.6.Vasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who cocaine or methamphetamine users because these agents may precipitate_________.a.severe hypotensionb.severe hypertensionc.respiratory depressiond.cessation of intestinal peristalsisANS:BVasoconstrictors should be avoided in patients who are cocaine or methamphetamine users because the combination mayprecipitate arrhythmias, MI, or severe hypertension.
