Question 1
A 67-year-old man with a history of hypertension presents with sudden onset of severe
chest pain described as tearing in nature, radiating to the back. His blood pressure is
188/102 mm Hg in the right arm and 160/88 mm Hg in the left arm. Which of the
following is the most likely diagnosis?
a. Acute pericarditis
b. Aortic dissection
c. Pulmonary embolism
d. Myocardial infarction
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aortic dissection classically presents with abrupt, severe "tearing" chest pain
that radiates to the back and is associated with asymmetric blood pressures between
extremities. Hypertension is a major risk factor for aortic dissection. Acute pericarditis
(Option A) typically presents with pleuritic chest pain relieved by leaning forward.
Pulmonary embolism (Option C) presents with sudden dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain.
,Myocardial infarction (Option D) typically presents with crushing substernal chest pain
but does not usually cause asymmetric blood pressures. Aortic dissection is a life-
threatening cardiovascular emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and management.
A 24-year-old woman presents with progressive fatigue and pallor. Laboratory studies
reveal microcytic anemia with low ferritin levels. Which of the following is the most likely
diagnosis?
a. Sickle cell anemia
b. Iron deficiency anemia
c. Aplastic anemia
d. Vitamin B12 deficiency
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Iron deficiency anemia commonly presents with microcytic, hypochromic
anemia and decreased ferritin stores, reflecting depleted iron reserves. Sickle cell anemia
(Option A) is a hemolytic anemia characterized by sickle-shaped red blood cells. Aplastic
anemia (Option C) presents with pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. Vitamin
B12 deficiency (Option D) causes macrocytic anemia with neurologic symptoms. Iron
deficiency is the most common cause of anemia worldwide and requires iron
supplementation and identification of the underlying cause of blood loss.
A patient with diabetes mellitus presents with confusion, a fruity breath odor, and deep
rapid respirations. Which acid-base disturbance is most likely present?
a. Metabolic alkalosis
b. Respiratory alkalosis
c. Metabolic acidosis
d. Respiratory acidosis
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) produces an anion-gap metabolic acidosis with
compensatory Kussmaul respirations (deep, rapid breathing) as the body attempts to
eliminate excess carbon dioxide. The fruity breath odor is due to acetone, a ketone body.
,Metabolic alkalosis (Option A) is associated with vomiting or diuretic use. Respiratory
alkalosis (Option B) is caused by hyperventilation. Respiratory acidosis (Option D) is
caused by hypoventilation. DKA is a medical emergency requiring insulin and fluid
replacement.
A 58-year-old smoker develops painless hematuria. Which of the following malignancies
should be suspected first?
a. Renal cell carcinoma
b. Bladder carcinoma
c. Prostate cancer
d. Wilms tumor
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Painless hematuria in an older smoker is classic for urothelial carcinoma of
the bladder. Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer. Renal cell carcinoma
(Option A) may also present with hematuria but is more commonly associated with flank
pain and a palpable mass. Prostate cancer (Option C) typically presents with urinary
obstructive symptoms or elevated PSA. Wilms tumor (Option D) is a pediatric renal
tumor. Bladder cancer requires prompt evaluation with cystoscopy and imaging.
A patient develops fever, hypotension, and warm flushed skin after a severe infection.
Which stage of shock is most likely present?
a. Cardiogenic shock
b. Neurogenic shock
c. Septic shock
d. Hypovolemic shock
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Distributive vasodilation, fever, and hypotension in the setting of infection are
characteristic of septic shock. In septic shock, systemic vasodilation leads to warm,
flushed extremities despite hypotension. Cardiogenic shock (Option A) presents with
cool, clammy extremities and signs of heart failure. Neurogenic shock (Option B) results
, from spinal cord injury causing bradycardia and hypotension. Hypovolemic shock
(Option D) is caused by fluid loss and presents with cool, pale skin. Septic shock requires
prompt antibiotics and fluid resuscitation.
A child presents with a barking cough, inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness. Which of the
following is the most likely diagnosis?
a. Epiglottitis
b. Asthma
c. Croup
d. Bronchiolitis
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Croup (laryngotracheobronchitis) commonly presents with a barking cough,
inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness due to upper airway inflammation, typically caused by
parainfluenza virus. Epiglottitis (Option A) presents with high fever, drooling, and a
muffled voice. Asthma (Option B) presents with expiratory wheezing. Bronchiolitis
(Option D) presents with tachypnea and wheezing in infants, typically caused by RSV.
Croup is usually self-limiting but may require nebulized epinephrine and corticosteroids
in severe cases.
A patient taking warfarin presents with severe bleeding. Which of the following is the
appropriate antidote?
a. Protamine sulfate
b. Naloxone
c. Vitamin K
d. Atropine
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vitamin K reverses the anticoagulant effects of warfarin by restoring clotting
factor synthesis (factors II, VII, IX, X). Protamine sulfate (Option A) is the antidote for
heparin. Naloxone (Option B) is the antidote for opioid overdose. Atropine (Option D) is
used for bradycardia and organophosphate poisoning. Fresh frozen plasma may also be
