Q1.
A family presents with a child exhibiting recurrent otitis media. The parent reports the
child has had three episodes in six months. Which factor most strongly predicts the
likelihood of recurrent otitis media in this child?
A. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six B. Attendance at a large group daycare
months center
C. History of seasonal allergies D. Use of a pacifier during sleep
Correct: B - Attendance at a large group daycare center
Rationale:Group daycare attendance is a well-established risk factor for recurrent otitis
media due to increased exposure to respiratory pathogens. While pacifier use and allergies
contribute, daycare exposure is the most significant modifiable risk factor. Breastfeeding is
protective, not a risk factor.
Q2.
A middle-aged adult with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (eGFR 45 mL/min) is
prescribed metformin. Which adjustment is most appropriate?
A. Continue current dose, monitor renal B. Reduce dose by 50% and monitor renal
function annually function every 3 months
C. Discontinue metformin and switch to D. Continue current dose, but add a SGLT2
insulin inhibitor
Correct: B - Reduce dose by 50% and monitor renal function every 3 months
Rationale:Metformin is contraindicated at eGFR <30, but at eGFR 30-45, dose reduction is
recommended. Continuing the full dose risks lactic acidosis. Switching to insulin is
unnecessary unless eGFR declines further. Adding an SGLT2 inhibitor may be beneficial but
does not address the metformin adjustment.
Q3.
A family in crisis presents with conflicting values regarding end-of-life care for a
grandparent. Which family therapy approach is most effective in facilitating consensus?
A. Structural family therapy, focusing on B. Bowenian family systems therapy,
hierarchy emphasizing differentiation

C. Narrative therapy, externalizing the illness D. Solution-focused brief therapy, targeting
immediate goals
Correct: B - Bowenian family systems therapy, emphasizing differentiation
Rationale:Bowenian therapy helps family members differentiate their own emotions and
values, reducing reactivity and enabling clearer communication about end-of-life decisions.
Structural therapy may impose hierarchy, narrative may not address conflict directly, and
solution-focused may overlook deeper values.
Q4.
A patient with hypertension is started on lisinopril. Which laboratory value requires
monitoring within 2 weeks of initiation?
A. Serum potassium and creatinine B. Liver function tests
C. Complete blood count D. Fasting lipid panel
Correct: A - Serum potassium and creatinine
Rationale:ACE inhibitors can cause hyperkalemia and acute kidney injury, especially in
patients with renal impairment or those on diuretics. Monitoring potassium and creatinine
within 2 weeks is standard. Liver function, CBC, and lipids are not routine for lisinopril.
Q5.
Which ethical principle is most directly violated when a provider withholds a diagnosis of
cancer from a patient because the family requests secrecy?
A. Beneficence B. Nonmaleficence
C. Autonomy D. Justice
Correct: C - Autonomy
Rationale:Autonomy respects the patient's right to know their diagnosis and make informed
decisions. Withholding information to honor family wishes undermines patient autonomy.
Beneficence might argue for disclosure, but the primary violation is autonomy.
Q6.
A patient presents with a painful, swollen joint. Which finding most strongly suggests
gout rather than pseudogout?
A. Calcium pyrophosphate crystals in B. Monosodium urate crystals in synovial
synovial fluid fluid
C. Elevated serum uric acid D. Radiographic chondrocalcinosis
