-
(a) A medical history shall be taken before the administration of a general anesthetic. Patients shall be asked to describe any current treatments, including drugs, impending operations, and pregnancies and to give other information that may be helpful to the person administering the anesthetic agent. The dentist is not required to make a medical examination of the patient and draw medical diagnostic conclusions; therefore, if the dentist suspects a problem and calls in a physician for an examination and evaluation, the dentist may then rely upon that conclusion and the diagnosis. (b) Questions asked of and answers received from the patient shall be permanently recorded and signed by the patient before the administration of any general anesthetic and this record shall become a permanent part of the patient's treatment record.
