1.
A 56-year-old man presents with substernal chest pain that began 1 hour ago while
he was mowing the lawn. The pain is pressure-like and radiates to the left arm.
ECG shows ST elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. Next best step in management?
• A. Give sublingual nitroglycerin
• B. Administer aspirin and activate cardiac catheterization lab
• C. Start IV heparin only
• D. Order a chest X-ray
Answer: B. Administer aspirin and activate cardiac catheterization lab ST
elevation in II, III, aVF = inferior STEMI. Reperfusion therapy is required (PCI
if available). Aspirin reduces mortality. Chest X-ray is not appropriate initially,
and nitro is supportive but not definitive.

• A. Endotracheal intubation
• B. Needle thoracostomy
• C. Chest tube placement
• D. IV fluids
Answer: B. Needle thoracostomy
Tension pneumothorax → immediate decompression with needle thoracostomy,
followed by chest tube.
7.
A 72-year-old man has a resting tremor, bradykinesia, and cogwheel rigidity. Most
appropriate initial therapy?
