SECTION 1: CARDIOLOGY (Questions 1–30)
1. A patient complains of palpitations for the past week. A 12-lead
EKG identifies atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 122 beats per
minute. What is your next order?
A) Apply a Holter monitor
B) Administer 5 mg of warfarin
C) Order a stat transthoracic (2D) echocardiogram and prepare the patient
for transport to the closest appropriate hospital for inpatient evaluation
D) Administer 150 mg of amiodarone IV bolus
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A wearable monitor does not provide actionable information until
read, and the patient is already identified as being in atrial fibrillation.
Warfarin without bridging will take several days to achieve therapeutic INR
and would potentially increase prothrombotic state for the first few days due
to inhibition of protein C and S. Amiodarone is a rhythm conversion
medication and should not be given unless first identifying any evidence of
clot burden with an echocardiogram .

prothrombotic state?
A) Inhibition of factor Xa
B) Deficiency of protein S
