SOLUTION GUARANTEED PASS
●● 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.
●● Normal MCH, hemoglobin 9.6
Answer: ESRD often causes a normocytic, normochromic anemia (low
hemoglobin, but normal indices).
