Your patient has been diagnosed with a detached retina. What treatment is least likely to be
curative? - CORRECT ANSWER-Lens replacement
A 51-year-old male patient presents to the urgent care with a unilateral injected cornea and
nausea. He reports visual acuity changes and light sensitivity. Which of the following is not
included in your differential? - CORRECT ANSWER-Chalazion
Rationale: Chalazion is a blocked meibomian gland that is not associated with visual acuity
changes, light sensitivity, or an injected cornea. Digoxin toxicity is commonly associated with
halos around eyes with nausea but does not have any mechanism to explain the injected
cornea. Cluster headaches also share the erythema, unilateral pain/pathology.
A patient presents with blood present in the anterior portion of their eye covering the lower
half of their iris. With which of the following diagnoses is this most consistent? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Hyphema
, Rationale: Hyphema is defined as red blood cells in the anterior portion of the eye between the
cornea and iris. Subconjunctival hemorrhage is commonly mistaken for this and is a hemorrhage
lateral to the iris in the conjunctiva of the eye. Globe rupture does not present with such
specific findings unless hyphema is also included in the trauma, and acute angle glaucoma is not
associated with blood in the anterior vitreous; however, hyphema may lead to this if the
trabecular network were to get clogged. For this reason, close follow up is required for these
patients.
Initial management for a patient with dry eyes should include: - CORRECT ANSWER-
Preservative-free lubricative eye drops
Which antibiotic is appropriate for initial treatment of sinusitis? - CORRECT ANSWER-
amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Augmentin)
The medical term for nosebleed is which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER-Epistaxis
You are following up with a 24-year-old male patient who was recently in a motor vehicle
collision at a high rate of speed. A CT head is performed revealing a pyramidal fracture involving
the lateral walls of the maxillary sinuses and inferior orbital rim. Which classification of fracture
is this? - CORRECT ANSWER-Le Fort II
Rationale: Le Fort II fracture lines pass through the posterior alveolar ridge, lateral walls of
maxillary sinuses, inferior orbital rim, and nasal bones
Which of the following is not a common symptom of Meniere's disease? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Photophobia
Rationale: The classic triad of Meniere's disease is vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
