VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+|
||NEWEST EXAM!!!||
Signs of early acute liver failure? - Answer-Jaundice,
encephalopathy, increasing fatigue, memory loss,
decreased libido, etc. with physical exam findings such as
testicular atrophy, gynecomastia, palmar erythema, and
spider angiomata.
Later sxs include portal hypertension with associated
upper or lower GI bleeding from varices and ascites.
Why should macrolides be prescribed sparingly in pts with
renal insufficiency? - Answer-Increased risk of QT
prolongation leading to torsades de pointes/polymorphic
ventricular tachycardia.
If TdP develops, give MAGNESIUM and provide
supportive care.

Area of esophagus usually perforated during EGD or
TEE? - Answer-Killian's triangle—bordered superiorly by
the inferior pharyngeal constrictor and inferiorly by the
cricopharyngeus muscle.
First initial side effect of epidural anesthesia toxicity? -
Answer-Dizziness/lightheadedness
Can further develop into seizures, auditory/visual
hallucinations, and severe respiratory depression as
toxicity increases.
Pharmacokinetics vs pharmacodynamics? - Answer-
Pharmacodynamics = what the drug does to the body.
Pharmacokinetics = what the body does to the drug.
At what diameter should femoral aneurysm be repaired? -
Answer-> = 2.5cm
Work-up should include duplex US and CTA if no renal
contraindications present.

Post-renal transplant pt begins having rhythmic involuntary
movements of bilat UE. What immunosuppression med is
notorious for this symptom? - Answer-Tacrolimus
Potent inhibition of IL-2 with accompanying neurotoxicity in
the form of tremors, headache, confusion, and seizures.
Pt presents following surgery with PLT count below 100
and a positive antibody assay for PF4. What condition is
this and what needs to be immediately done? - Answer-
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)
STOP HEPARIN immediately!!!! This includes any other
Heparin based products. Must switch patient to non-
heparin based anticoagulation.
Most commonly injured anatomy during total
thyroidectomy? - Answer-Superior laryngeal nerve,
specifically the external branch. Damage to this nerve
results in cricothyroid disfunction and changes in voice
pitch.
, 4|Page
The recurrent laryngeal nerve is also an easily damaged
nerve with more devastating consequences from minor
hoarseness, to difficulty breathing, and life-threatening
aspiration.
What are the different organs affected by MEN1 vs
MEN2A hereditary cancer syndromes? - Answer-MEN1:
pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas islet cells.
MEN2A: hyperparathyroidism, medullary thyroid
carcinoma, and pheochromocytomas.
MEN2A can also be sub-classified as classic, cutaneous
lichen amyloidosis, and with Hirschsprung disease.
List the types of hiatal hernias. - Answer-Type 1 - sliding
(GEJ "sliding" into chest)
Type 2 - rolling (GEJ anatomically correct but para-
esophageal hernia present)
Type 3 - mixed (combination of type 1 and type 2)
Type 4 - type 3 but one or more intra-abdominal organs
are herniating along the esophagus, as well.
