Section 1: Cardiovascular & Respiratory Disorders

Section 2: Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders (Diabetes, Thyroid, Obesity)

Section 3: Gastrointestinal & Renal/Urinary Disorders

Section 4: Musculoskeletal & Rheumatologic Disorders

Section 5: Neurologic & Special Senses Disorders

Section 6: Dermatologic & Infectious Diseases



Section 1: Cardiovascular & Respiratory Disorders


Q1: A 55-year-old African American male has a blood pressure of 152/96 mmHg. He has no
other comorbidities. According to the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines, what is the appropriate
classification?

A. Elevated

B. Stage 1 Hypertension [CORRECT]

C. Stage 2 Hypertension
D. Hypertensive Crisis

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Stage 1 Hypertension is defined as systolic 130-139 or diastolic 80-89. Wait, 152/96
is >140 and >90. This is Stage 2. Correction: 152/96 meets criteria for Stage 2.

Note: The user asked for a different set. In the previous set, Q1 was 148/92. This is similar. Let
me adjust to ensure variety.

Revised Q1: A 45-year-old female has BP of 128/82. Classification?

,A. Normal

B. Elevated [CORRECT]

C. Stage 1

D. Stage 2

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Elevated BP is systolic 120-129 and diastolic <80. Stage 1 requires diastolic 80-89.
Normal is <120/<80.

Key Review Point: Elevated BP = 120-129 / <80.



Q2: A patient with HFrEF (EF 30%) is currently on Lisinopril and Metoprolol. What medication
should be added next to reduce mortality?

A. Furosemide

B. Spironolactone (MRA) [CORRECT]

C. Digoxin

D. Hydralazine

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: MRAs (Spironolactone/Eplerenone) reduce mortality in HFrEF and are part of the
"quadruple therapy" (along with Beta-blocker, ACEi/ARNI, SGLT2i). Furosemide is for
symptoms only.

Key Review Point: HFrEF Mortality Reduction = Add MRA (if eGFR/K+ allows).



Q3: A 70-year-old male presents with syncope. He describes a sensation of "fluttering" in his
chest before the event. ECG shows QRS complexes of varying morphology and irregular R-R
intervals. What is the diagnosis?

A. Atrial Fibrillation

B. Ventricular Tachycardia

C. Atrial Flutter with variable block [CORRECT]

D. SVT

Correct Answer: C
.

,Rationale: Atrial Flutter typically produces "sawtooth" waves. If the block is variable, the
ventricular rate (R-R) is irregular, mimicking Afib but with distinct flutter waves.

Key Review Point: Atrial Flutter = Sawtooth waves (variable block = irregular pulse).



Q4: A patient with stable angina is unable to tolerate beta-blockers due to severe asthma. What is
the alternative medication for angina?

A. Verapamil (Non-dihydropyridine CCB) [CORRECT]

B. Nifedipine (Dihydropyridine CCB)
C. Digoxin

D. Nitroglycerin SL only

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Non-dihydropyridine CCBs (Verapamil/Diltiazem) reduce heart rate and contractility,
making them suitable alternatives to beta-blockers for angina. Dihydropyridines (Amlodipine)
cause reflex tachycardia.

Key Review Point: Angina + Asthma (Beta-blocker contraindicated) = Use Non-DHP CCB
(Verapamil/Diltiazem).



Q5: Which murmur is best heard at the left upper sternal border (LUSB) and increases with
inspiration?

A. Aortic Regurgitation

B. Pulmonic Stenosis

C. Tricuspid Regurgitation [CORRECT]

D. Mitral Stenosis
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Tricuspid regurgitation is a holosystolic murmur heard best at the LLSB or LUSB
that increases with inspiration (Carvallo's sign).

Key Review Point: TR Murmur = Increases with Inspiration (Carvallo's sign).




.

, Q6: A 65-year-old male presents with leg pain that occurs after walking 2 blocks and resolves
within 10 minutes of rest. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is 0.65. What is the diagnosis?

A. Mild PAD

B. Moderate PAD [CORRECT]

C. Severe PAD

D. Normal

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: ABI 0.41-0.69 indicates moderate PAD. 0.70-0.90 is mild. <0.40 is severe.

Key Review Point: ABI Grading: Mild (0.7-0.9), Moderate (0.4-0.69), Severe (<0.4).



Q7: A patient with a history of DVT is on Warfarin. INR is 6.0, but the patient is asymptomatic
(no bleeding). What is the management?

A. Vitamin K 10mg IV

B. Hold Warfarin, restart at lower dose when INR < 5.0 [CORRECT]

C. Fresh Frozen Plasma

D. Protamine Sulfate

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Asymptomatic elevated INR >5.0 requires holding warfarin and possibly giving oral
Vitamin K (if INR >10). IV Vitamin K or FFP is for severe bleeding.

Key Review Point: Asymptomatic High INR (>5) = Hold Warfarin + Optional Oral Vit K.



Q8: A 30-year-old female presents with low-grade fever, non-productive cough, and malaise.
CXR shows "patchy" infiltrates. Cold agglutinins are positive. What is the pathogen?

A. Mycoplasma pneumoniae [CORRECT]

B. Streptococcus pneumoniae

C. Legionella

D. Haemophilus influenzae

Correct Answer: A
