Wernicke-Korsakoff Expected Finding
a. Confusion
b. Hallucinations
c. Tremors
d. Hypertension
,✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by thiamine (vitamin B1)
deficiency, commonly seen in chronic alcohol use disorder. It presents with confusion,
ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia (Wernicke's encephalopathy) followed by memory
impairment and confabulation (Korsakoff's psychosis).
DIGFAST (Bipolar Mania Assessment)
a. Distractibility, Indiscretion, Grandiosity, Flight of Ideas, Activity increase, Sleep
decrease, Talkative
b. Depression, Isolation, Guilt, Fatigue, Appetite loss, Sleep changes, Thought
disturbance
c. Disorientation, Impulsivity, Grandeur, Flight of ideas, Activity decrease, Sleep increase,
Talkative
d. Distractibility, Indiscretion, Grandiosity, Flight of ideas, Activity increase, Sleep
increase, Tachycardia
✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
DIGFAST is a mnemonic for assessing mania in bipolar disorder: Distractibility,
Indiscretion (especially about sex and spending), Grandiosity, Flight of Ideas, Activity
increase (hyperactivity), Sleep decrease (insomnia), Talkative (pressured speech). This
helps differentiate mania from other psychiatric conditions.
Heroin Intoxication Expected Finding
a. Respiratory Depression
b. Respiratory Rate 28
c. Mydriasis
d. Hypertension
✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Heroin is an opioid that causes central nervous system depression, leading to respiratory
,depression, pinpoint pupils (miosis), and sedation. Respiratory depression is the most
life-threatening effect of opioid intoxication.
DELIRIUM Mnemonic
a. Dementia, Electrolyte imbalance, Liver lung kidney heart disease, Infection, Rx drugs,
Injury pain stress surgery, Unfamiliar environment, Metabolic reasons
b. Dementia, Electrolyte imbalance, Liver disease, Infection, Radiation, Injury, Unfamiliar
environment, Metabolic reasons
c. Depression, Electrolyte imbalance, Liver disease, Infection, Rx drugs, Injury, Unfamiliar
environment, Metabolic reasons
d. Dementia, Electrolyte imbalance, Lung disease, Infection, Rx drugs, Injury, Unfamiliar
environment, Malnutrition
✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
The DELIRIUM mnemonic helps identify causes of delirium: Dementia, Electrolyte
imbalance/dehydration, Liver/lung/kidney/heart disease, Infection, Rx drugs,
Injury/pain/stress/surgery, Unfamiliar environment, Metabolic reasons. Delirium is acute
and reversible with treatment of underlying causes.
Reaction to Terminal Cancer Diagnosis
a. Anger
b. Bargaining
c. Denial
d. Acceptance
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Denial is often the initial reaction to a terminal diagnosis. It serves as a psychological
defense mechanism that allows the patient time to process overwhelming information
before moving through other stages of grief. This is normal and expected, not
pathological.
, Valproic Acid Teaching
a. Monitor liver function levels regularly
b. Monitor kidney function levels regularly
c. Monitor blood glucose levels regularly
d. Monitor electrolyte levels regularly
✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Valproic acid (Depakote) carries a risk of hepatotoxicity. Teaching should include the
need to regularly monitor liver function levels (ALT, AST). Patients should be educated
about signs of liver dysfunction such as jaundice, abdominal pain, and dark urine.
When should Donepezil be taken?
a. Morning
b. Bedtime
c. With meals
d. Before meals
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Donepezil should be taken at bedtime to reduce the risk of injury due to bradycardia
and syncope. These side effects are more likely to cause falls and injuries during waking
hours, so bedtime administration minimizes this risk.
Methadone is indicated for treatment of...
a. Alcohol use disorder
b. Opiate use disorder
c. Stimulant use disorder
d. Benzodiazepine use disorder
