Q1.
A patient on chronic high-dose glucocorticoid therapy develops new-onset
hyperglycemia, central obesity, and proximal muscle weakness. Which pathophysiologic
mechanism best explains these combined findings?
A. Increased peripheral glucose uptake via B. Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated
GLUT4 translocation upregulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis
and inhibition of peripheral glucose
utilization
C. Direct pancreatic beta-cell destruction D. Enhanced insulin signaling in skeletal
with absolute insulin deficiency muscle due to cytokine suppression
Correct: B - Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated upregulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis
and inhibition of peripheral glucose utilization
Rationale:Glucocorticoids induce insulin resistance, increase hepatic gluconeogenesis, and
inhibit glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue, leading to hyperglycemia, central
adiposity, and muscle catabolism. Option A is opposite. Option C describes type 1 diabetes.
Option D incorrectly suggests enhanced insulin action.
Q2.
A patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is started on
sacubitril/valsartan. Which monitoring parameter is most critical during the first two
weeks of therapy?
A. Serum potassium and creatinine B. Complete blood count with differential
C. Liver function tests D. Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Correct: A - Serum potassium and creatinine
Rationale:Sacubitril/valsartan can cause hyperkalemia and renal impairment, especially
when combined with other RAAS inhibitors. Monitoring potassium and creatinine is essential.
The other options are not directly related to this drug's primary adverse effects.

Q3.
Which statement accurately distinguishes the mechanism of action of metformin from that
of sulfonylureas in type 2 diabetes management?
A. Metformin increases insulin secretion, B. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose
whereas sulfonylureas decrease hepatic production and improves insulin sensitivity,
glucose production. whereas sulfonylureas stimulate pancreatic
insulin release.
C. Metformin inhibits alpha-glucosidase, D. Metformin activates PPAR-gamma,
whereas sulfonylureas enhance peripheral whereas sulfonylureas inhibit DPP-4.
glucose uptake.
Correct: B - Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin
sensitivity, whereas sulfonylureas stimulate pancreatic insulin release.
Rationale:Metformin primarily reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis and enhances insulin
sensitivity; sulfonylureas close ATP-sensitive potassium channels on beta cells, stimulating
insulin secretion. The other options misattribute mechanisms of action.
Q4.
A patient presents with sudden-onset severe headache, neck stiffness, and photophobia.
Which diagnostic test is the definitive standard for suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage if
non-contrast CT is negative and symptom onset was more than 6 hours ago?
A. MRI of the brain without contrast B. Lumbar puncture for xanthochromia
C. Carotid duplex ultrasound D. EEG
Correct: B - Lumbar puncture for xanthochromia
Rationale:Lumbar puncture demonstrating xanthochromia is the definitive test for
subarachnoid hemorrhage when CT is negative after 6 hours. MRI may be less sensitive
acutely; ultrasound and EEG do not diagnose SAH.
Q5.
Which finding on a 12-lead ECG is most specific for acute pericarditis rather than
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)?
A. Reciprocal ST depression B. PR segment depression
C. Pathologic Q waves D. New left bundle branch block
Correct: B - PR segment depression
