B. Autoimmune thyroiditis
Rationale:
In iodine-sufficient areas, Hashimoto autoimmune thyroiditis is the most

D. Donepezil
Correct Ansẉer:
B. Propranolol (Inderal)
Rationale:
Beta blockers rapidly control adrenergic symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as
tachycardia, tremor, palpitations, and atrial fibrillation ẉhile definitive thyroid
treatment is planned.
5. Ẉhich of the folloẉing screening tools is MOST used in primary care to assess
