◉ Basic metabolic profile.
Answer: The initial test for a patient with new palpitations,
including electrolytes and an ECG.
◉ Aortic valve location.
Answer: Best identified at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal
border.
◉ Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration.
Answer: Recommended for at least 12 months after drug-eluting
stent placement in cases of elevated troponin.
◉ Localized egophony.
Answer: Most likely implies lung consolidation, such as pneumonia.
◉ Percussion of the thorax.
Answer: Helps identify if underlying tissues are air-filled, fluid-filled,
or consolidated.
,◉ Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).
Answer: Expected to be less-than-expected in patients with severe
interstitial lung disease.
◉ Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV₁).
Answer: A decreased level is most suggestive of obstructive lung
disease.
◉ Graves' Disease.
Answer: Most likely diagnosis for a patient with goiter and
symptoms of anxiety, palpitations, and tremor.
◉ Exophthalmos.
Answer: A typical sign associated with Graves' hyperthyroidism.
◉ Cushing's disease findings.
Answer: Common findings include moon facies, abdominal striae,
and central obesity; low body temperature is not typical.
◉ Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 evaluation.
Answer: Should include annual renal function tests, urinalysis, and a
dilated eye exam.
,◉ Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score.
Answer: The MELD score is specifically used to prioritize and assess
transplant need in cirrhosis.
◉ Deep palpitation.
Answer: An enlarged spleen is at risk of rupture, so avoid deep
palpation if mononucleosis is suspected.
◉ Gram negative rods.
Answer: Perforated ulcers and resultant peritonitis often involve
gram-negative enteric organisms (e.g., E. coli).
◉ Hydrocele.
Answer: A fluid-filled scrotal enlargement that can transilluminate is
most consistent with a hydrocele.
◉ Leaning forward.
Answer: Sinus pressure typically worsens when bending or leaning
forward.
◉ Lymphoma.
, Answer: 'B symptoms' (night sweats, weight loss) plus hilar
lymphadenopathy strongly suggests lymphoma.
◉ Ehlers-Danlos.
Answer: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder, can
be linked to vitreous abnormalities.
◉ Homonymous hemianopia.
Answer: Loss of the right visual field in both eyes is a right
homonymous hemianopia (post-chiasmal lesion).
◉ TIBC and ferritin.
Answer: Iron studies (especially serum ferritin, TIBC) confirm iron
deficiency (the most common cause of microcytosis with high RDW).
◉ Thalassemia trait.
Answer: Thalassemia typically shows microcytosis with normal RBC
distribution width, as opposed to iron deficiency (which raises
RDW).
◉ Vitamin B12.
Answer: Macrocytosis suggests checking B12 or folate to
differentiate causes.
