ANSW Florinef
6. Side Effects of florinef ✔✔ ANSW GI, Headache, menstrual changes, skin changes(appearance, color, thinning, easy bruising/bleeding), dizziness,
bone/muscle pain, eye problems or mood changes
7. Off label use for BPH or sleep aid for PTSD ✔✔ ANSW Prazosin/Minipress

11. 1st line treatment asthma: SABA PRN
12. step 2 of asthma: start low dose ICS (when interupting sleep at night)
13. 3rd step asthma: low dose ICS + LABA or medium dose ICS
14. 4th step asthma: medium dose ICS + LABA
15. 5th step asthma: high dose ICS + LABA
16. Step 6 asthma: high dose ICS + LABA + oral corticosteroid
17. occurs when the body's immune system produces antibodies that block the chemical needed for muscles to
contract: Myasthenia Gravis
18. Myasthenia Gravis treatment: cholinesterase inhibtors and autoimmune treatments like coritcos-teroids
19. side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors: NVD, muscle cramps, weigh loss, headaches, insom-nia, abnormal dreams
20. rare but dangerous worsening
of the thyrotoxic state, in which death can occur within 48 hours without treatment. The condition may develop
spontaneously, but it usually occurs in individuals who have undiagnosed or partially treated severe hyperthy-
, roidism
and who are subjected to excessive stress from other causes. These causes may include infection, pulmonary or
cardiovascular disorders, trauma, burns, seizures, surgery (especially thyroid surgery), obstetric complications,
emo-tional
distress, or dialysis: Thyrotoxicosis/Thyrotoxic crisis (thyroid storm)
21. Symptoms of thyroid storm are caused by ✔✔ ANSW The symptoms of thyroid crisis are caused by the sudden
release and increased action of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) exceeding metabolic demands.
22. hypothyroidism: High TSH, low T3
23. Symptoms of thyroid storm: hyperthermia; tachycardia, especially atrial
tachydysrhythmias; high-output heart failure; agitation or delirium; and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea,
contributing to fluid volume depletion
24. treatment of thyroid storm: (1) the use of drugs that block TH synthesis (i.e., propylthiouracil or methimazole), (2) the use
of beta-blockers for control of
cardiovascular symptoms, (3) administration of corticosteroids or (4) iodine (e.g., saturated solution of potassium iodide [SSKI]), and
(5) supportive care. Plasma exchange or thyroidectomy may be used when medical treatment fails.
25. 1st line treatment of uncomplicated hypertension: hydrochlorothiazide
26. Ataxia in pediatric patient w genetic predisposition: fragile X syndrome
27. Contraindicated antibiotics during pregnancy for UTI: nitrofurantoin, trimetho-prim-sulfamethoxazole, fluoroquinolones
28. What to give for UTI in pregnancy: one dose fosfomycin or cephalexin
29. Pediatric treatment for UTI ✔✔ ANSW trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra). Alternative antibi-otics include
amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) or cephalosporins, such as cefixime (Suprax), cefpodoxime, cefprozil
(Cefzil), or cephalexin (Keflex)
30. What IV med for pediatric UTI ✔✔ ANSW IV cephalosporin
