A 45-year-old male presents with acute onset of severe right upper quadrant pain
radiating to the right shoulder, nausea, and vomiting. Ultrasound reveals
cholelithiasis and a thickened gallbladder wall. Which of the following is the most
appropriate next step in management?
A. Oral ursodeoxycholic acid therapy
B. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
C. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
D. Observation with serial abdominal exams
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: Acute cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and thickened gallbladder wall
on ultrasound indicates acute inflammation. The standard definitive treatment is
laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Ursodeoxycholic acid (A) is used for dissolution
of radiolucent stones in non-acute settings. ERCP (B) is indicated for
choledocholithiasis or ascending cholangitis, not uncomplicated cholecystitis.
Observation (D) risks perforation or progression of disease.
A 28-year-old pregnant woman at 32 weeks’ gestation presents with new-onset
hypertension (BP 160/100 mmHg) and proteinuria (3+ on dipstick). She complains
of a frontal headache and blurry vision. Which of the following is the most
appropriate next step?
A. Outpatient bed rest with daily blood pressure monitoring
B. Oral labetalol and discharge home
C. Immediate delivery via induction or cesarean section
,D. Magnesium sulfate administration without delivery
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: This patient has severe preeclampsia with symptoms of end-organ
dysfunction (headache, visual changes). At 32 weeks, immediate delivery is
indicated to prevent maternal complications such as eclampsia or stroke.
Magnesium sulfate (D) is given for seizure prophylaxis but should accompany
delivery, not replace it. Outpatient management (A) or discharge (B) is unsafe in
severe preeclampsia.
A 60-year-old male with a history of COPD presents with worsening dyspnea and
a productive cough with purulent sputum. His temperature is 38.5°C. On
examination, there are coarse crackles in the right lower lobe. Chest X-ray shows a
right lower lobe infiltrate. Which of the following is the most likely causative
organism?
A. Mycoplasma pneumonia
B. Streptococcus pneumonia
C. Hemophilic influenza
D. Moraxella catarrhal is
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: Community-acquired pneumonia with typical presentation (acute
onset, fever, productive cough, lobar infiltrate) is most commonly caused by
Streptococcus pneumonia. Mycoplasma (A) typically causes atypical pneumonia
with gradual onset and interstitial pattern. H. influenza (C) and M. catarrhal is
(D) are more common in COPD exacerbations but less frequent as primary CAP
pathogens in this demographic.
A 25-year-old female presents with fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and
constipation. Laboratory studies show TSH 12.5 maul/L (normal 0.4-4.0) and free
,T4 0.5 ng/ld. (normal 0.8-1.8). Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies are elevated.
Which of the following is the most appropriate initial treatment?
A. Methimazole
B. Radioactive iodine ablation
C. Levothyroxine
D. Observation with repeat thyroid function tests in 6 weeks
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: The patient has overt hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis
(elevated anti-TPO antibodies). Levothyroxine replacement is indicated to restore
euthyroidism. Methimazole (A) and radioactive iodine (B) are treatments for
hyperthyroidism. Observation (D) is not appropriate for symptomatic overt
hypothyroidism.
A 72-year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation on warfarin presents with
sudden onset of severe left lower extremity pain, pallor, and paresthesia. The left
leg is cool to the touch and pulseless. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Deep vein thrombosis
B. Acute arterial embolism
C. Compartment syndrome
D. Sciatica
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: The acute onset of pain, pallor, paresthesia, and pulselessness (the 5
P's) in a patient with atrial fibrillation on warfarin suggests an arterial embolism
from a cardiac source. DVT (A) would cause swelling and warmth, not pallor
and uselessness. Compartment syndrome (C) typically follows trauma. Sciatica
(D) causes radicular pain without vascular compromise.
, During a somatic dysfunction assessment, a patient has a restricted right side
bending of the cervical spine. Which of the following findings would be expected
on flexion testing of the cervical vertebrae?
A. Right rotation is more restricted than left rotation
B. Left rotation is more restricted than right rotation
C. Equal restriction of rotation bilaterally
D. No restriction of rotation
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: In cervical somatic dysfunction with restricted right side bending,
Fayette’s principles (type I mechanics) indicate that rotation and side bending
occur to opposite sides in the neutral position. When side bending is restricted to
the right, rotation to the left will be more restricted. This is consistent with type I
dysfunction where rotation and midevening are coupled in opposite directions in
the neutral spine.
A 34-year-old woman presents with episodic palpitations, anxiety, sweating, and
headache. During an episode, her blood pressure is 210/110 mmHg and heart rate
120 bpm. Between episodes, she is normotensive. Which of the following
laboratory findings is most diagnostic?
A. Elevated plasma renin activity
B. Elevated plasma metanephrines
C. Hypokalemia
D. Hypercalcemia
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: The episodic hypertension with palpitations, anxiety, sweating, and
headache is classic for pheochromocytoma. Elevated plasma metanephrines (or
urinary fractionated metanephrines) is the most sensitive and specific diagnostic
