NBME 12 EXAM QUIZZES WITH RIGHT
ACCURATE ANSWERS RATED 100% .
Leriche syndrome - Correct Answer -Aortoiliac occlusion
PAD that presents with lower back/buttock claudication, erectile dysfunction, dec. or absent lower
extremity dysfunction
Improves w/ rest
Rfs: same as atherosclerosis
Txt: Supportive (severe disease can have revascularization)
postmenopausal women: inc. risk of death via? - Correct Answer -CVD
Female hormones have cardioprotective properties, therefore loss of them inc. chances of CVD in
this population

instability
Thoracic hemorrhage
decompression of cardiac tamponade
Management of aortic or pulmonary hemorrhage
Tube thoracotomy - Correct Answer -Large pneumothorax

thrombocytopenia
Petichiae, purpura, menorrhagia, prolonged bleeding(time)
Can occur after infection
Platelets appear normal on peripheral blood smear
