Question 1
Topic: Burn Assessment
Benny, a 19-year-old male, has a first-degree burn over his entire torso
after prolonged sun exposure while taking a medication with
photosensitivity reactions. To accurately document his burned surface area
using the Rule of Palms, which portion of the patient's body surface area is
covered by the patient's palms?
A. 1%
B. 5%
C. 10%
D. 15%
Correct Answer: A. 1%
Rationale: The Rule of Palms is a quick method for estimating burn surface
area, particularly useful for smaller or irregular burns. The palmar surface of
the patient's hand (including fingers) represents approximately 1% of their
total body surface area (TBSA). This method is especially valuable when
formal calculation tools like the Rule of Nines are impractical. The patient's
,entire torso would represent approximately 18% of TBSA using the Rule of
Nines (anterior torso 18%, posterior torso 18%).
Question 2
Topic: Autoimmune Disorders - Pharmacotherapy
Patients with acute autoimmune disorder flares are routinely treated with
medication to reduce inflammation but do not typically manage the
underlying disease state. Which class of medication is typically used to
manage the underlying long-term disease state with most autoimmune
disorders?
A. Corticosteroids
B. Monoclonal antibodies
C. NSAIDs
D. Antimalarials
Correct Answer: B. Monoclonal antibodies
Rationale: Monoclonal antibodies (e.g., TNF inhibitors, IL-6 inhibitors, B-
cell depleting agents) are disease-modifying therapies that target specific
components of the immune system to manage the underlying
pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders. Corticosteroids and NSAIDs
provide symptomatic relief by reducing inflammation but do not modify
the disease course. Antimalarials (e.g., hydroxychloroquine) are used in
specific conditions like SLE but are not broadly applicable. Long-term
, management of autoimmune diseases requires agents that modulate the
immune response at a mechanistic level.
Question 3
Topic: Urinary Tract Infection - Treatment
Shelley, a 19-year-old female, presents with dysuria and urinary frequency.
Urinalysis confirms UTI with positive leukocyte esterase, nitrates, WBCs, and
bacteria. Labs from six months ago were normal. She has a history of
anaphylaxis after an antibiotic for an unrelated illness two years ago. Based
on her presentation, which would be the best strategy for treating her
urinary tract infection?
A. Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Bactrim)
B. Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid)
C. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
D. Amoxicillin
Correct Answer: B. Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid)
Rationale: Nitrofurantoin is a first-line agent for uncomplicated urinary
tract infections in young women. It is effective against common
uropathogens including E. coli. The key consideration here is the patient's
history of anaphylaxis to an antibiotic. While the specific offending agent is
not named in the stem, Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) carries
risks of hypersensitivity reactions. Nitrofurantoin is a safe alternative that
does not cross-react with beta-lactam or sulfa antibiotics. Fluoroquinolones
