vaccination. What is the recommended influenza vaccine for his age
group?
A) Standard-dose quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine
,2|Page
B) High-dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccine
C) Live attenuated influenza vaccine (nasal spray)
D) No vaccine is needed after age 65
Answer: B
*Adults aged 65 years and older should receive high-dose (Fluzone
High-Dose) or adjuvanted (Fluad) influenza vaccine because these
formulations provide superior protection in older adults. Standard-dose
vaccines are acceptable if high-dose is unavailable. Live attenuated
influenza vaccine is contraindicated in older adults.*

Question 2
A 50-year-old woman with no cardiovascular risk factors asks about
aspirin for primary prevention. According to current guidelines, what is
recommended?

B) Aspirin 325 mg daily

,3|Page
Answer: C
*Current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin for primary
prevention in adults aged 60 years and older. For adults aged 40-59 years
with 10% 10-year CVD risk, the decision should be individualized. This
patient has no risk factors, so aspirin is not indicated.*

tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster 12 years ago. What vaccine is indicated?
A) Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) booster

C) No vaccine indicated
D) Only tetanus vaccine

patient is due for a booster and has no documented Tdap, Tdap is
indicated.*
