,1. Question : Which of the following is the primary imaging
technique used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
- A) MRI
- B) CT Angiography
- C) Doppler Ultrasonography
- D) Chest X-Ray
Correct Answer: C) Doppler Ultrasonography
Rationale: Doppler ultrasonography is the standard initial test
for detecting DVT due to its ability to visualize blood flow in the
veins.
2. Question : A patient with iron deficiency anemia is likely to
exhibit which of the following laboratory findings?
- A) Elevated ferritin levels
- B) Low transferrin saturation
- C) Hyperchromic red blood cells
- D) Increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
Correct Answer: B) Low transferrin saturation
©Nightingale 2024/2025
, Rationale: Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by low
ferritin, low transferrin saturation, and microcytic, hypochromic red
blood cells.
3. Question : Which of the following conditions is primarily
characterized by the presence of an increase in immature white
blood cells?
- A) Hemolytic Anemia
- B) Myelodysplastic Syndrome
- C) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- D) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Correct Answer: D) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Rationale: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) involves the
proliferation of immature leukocytes (lymphoblasts).
4. Question : What is the primary therapeutic approach for a
patient experiencing a sickle cell crisis?
- A) Providing high doses of oral vitamin C
- B) Ensuring adequate hydration and pain management
- C) Administering high doses of iron
- D) Immediate blood transfusion
Correct Answer: B) Ensuring adequate hydration and pain
management
