QUESTIONS WITH BEST ANSWERS
Cushing syndrome ✅✅ANSW-Clinical presentation: protruding abdomen, sub clavicular fat pads,
moon face, muscle weakness, thin extremities, psychiatric symptoms.
Hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state ✅✅ANSW-Caused by insulin deficiency, severe dehydration,
and increased blood glucose levels. Affects fluid balance and can cause thromboembolic events.
Microvascular complications of diabetes ✅✅ANSW-Retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy.
Adrenal gland hormones ✅✅ANSW-Adrenal cortex: mineral corticosteroids/aldosterone, cortisol.
Adrenal medulla: epinephrine.
Complications of impaired fracture healing ✅✅ANSW-Delayed union, malunion, non-union.
Compartment syndrome ✅✅ANSW-Increased pressure within a limited space that compromises
circulation and function of tissue. Diagnosed through neurovascular assessment and pressure
testing.
Osteomyelitis ✅✅ANSW-Infection of bone, caused by direct penetration, hematogenous spread,
or extension from a contiguous site.
Osteogenesis imperfecta ✅✅ANSW-Defective synthesis of type I collagen, resulting in brittle
bones and blue sclera of the eyes.
Gout ✅✅ANSW-Caused by increased serum uric acid, resulting in joint pain, swelling, and
redness due to crystal formation. Managed with colchicine, NSAIDs, and allopurinol.
Acute inflammation ✅✅ANSW-Vascular phase: increased capillary permeability, vasodilation,
protein-rich fluid into extravascular spaces, warmth and erythema.
, Requirements for optimal wound healing ✅✅ANSW-Nutrition, blood flow/oxygen delivery,
appropriate inflammatory and immune response, clean wound, wound closure.
Impetigo ✅✅ANSW-Superficial bacterial infection with vesicles, pustules, or bullae on the face,
followed by honey-colored crusts.
Cellulitis ✅✅ANSW-Deeper infection affecting the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, characterized
by erythema, heat, edema, and pain. Treated with oral or parenteral antibiotics.
Herpes zoster ✅✅ANSW-Shingles, characterized by acute, localized vesicular rash over
dermatomal segments of the skin and nerve pain.
Burn classification ✅✅ANSW-1st degree: superficial partial-thickness burn. 2nd degree: partial-
thickness and full-thickness burns. 3rd degree: full-thickness burns.
Skin cancer assessment ✅✅ANSW-Characteristics of suspicious lesions: asymmetry, border
irregularity, color variegation, diameter greater than 6 mm, evolution/change in size or appearance.
Fungal infections ✅✅ANSW-Candida infections caused by C. albicans, predisposed by DM,
antibiotic therapy, pregnancy, poor nutrition. Manifestations include skin scalding lesions.
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) ✅✅ANSW-Management recommendations: moisturizing,
hypoallergenic products, elimination diet, probiotics, hydration, topical corticosteroids.
Acute cervicitis ✅✅ANSW-Inflammation of the cervix caused by direct infection or infection to
the vagina or uterus. Common causes include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, Gonorrhea,
and Chlamydia.
Testicular cancer ✅✅ANSW-Clinical presentation: uncomfortable large testicle, belly or groin
pain, heaviness sensation to scrotum. Treatment: orchiectomy, followed by treatment based on
staging.
Prostatitis ✅✅ANSW-Clinical presentation: pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, dysuria, frequency,
urinary retention. Differentiation between acute bacterial prostatitis, BPH, and chronic prostatitis
based on symptoms and culture results.
