Apply current USPSTF and specialty-society screening recommendations to individualized adult
primary care decisions, Interpret diagnostic data (labs, imaging, ECG, spirometry) to formulate
prioritized differential diagnoses, Select and titrate pharmacotherapy using guideline-directed and
patient-specific parameters while recognizing contraindications. Every item follows the wording
style and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear
rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the
questions that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic.
Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the
questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what
turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 APPLY CURRENT USPSTF AND SPECIALTY-SOCIETY SCREENING RECOMMENDATIONS
TO INDIVIDUALIZED ADULT PRIMARY CARE DECISIONS
Which strategy most accurately reflects current USPSTF guidance for lung cancer
screening in an asymptomatic adult with a 25-pack-year history who currently
smokes and is 58 years old?
A. Annual chest radiograph for all adults with any smoking history
B. Annual low-dose CT for adults 50-80 with 20 pack-years who currently smoke or quit within 15
years CORRECT
C. Low-dose CT only after symptoms such as hemoptysis develop
D. Sputum cytology every 3 years in high-risk smokers
RATIONALE: The 2021 USPSTF update expanded eligibility to adults 50-80 with 20 pack-years
who currently smoke or quit within 15 years, making annual low-dose CT appropriate. Chest
radiography and sputum cytology are not recommended screening modalities, and
symptom-triggered imaging is diagnostic, not screening.

, Q2 APPLY CURRENT USPSTF AND SPECIALTY-SOCIETY SCREENING RECOMMENDATIONS
TO INDIVIDUALIZED ADULT PRIMARY CARE DECISIONS
An adult with type 2 diabetes has an A1c of 8.1% on metformin monotherapy,
eGFR 52 mL/min/1.73 m², and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Which addition best aligns with current ADA/KDIGO recommendations?
A. Add a sulfonylurea to achieve rapid glycemic control
B. Add an SGLT2 inhibitor with proven cardiovascular and renal benefit CORRECT
C. Add a DPP-4 inhibitor for weight neutrality
D. Add basal insulin immediately to target A1c <6.5%
RATIONALE: In patients with ASCVD and reduced eGFR, SGLT2 inhibitors (or GLP-1 RAs) with
proven benefit are recommended independent of A1c. Sulfonylureas and DPP-4 inhibitors lack
this outcome benefit, and immediate insulin escalation is not first-line when organ-protective
agents are indicated.
Q3 APPLY CURRENT USPSTF AND SPECIALTY-SOCIETY SCREENING RECOMMENDATIONS
TO INDIVIDUALIZED ADULT PRIMARY CARE DECISIONS
A patient presents with new unilateral pleuritic chest pain, tachycardia, and
hypoxemia two weeks after knee arthroplasty. Which diagnostic sequence best
reflects the recommended evaluation for suspected pulmonary embolism in a
hemodynamically stable patient?
A. D-dimer first; if negative, no further testing
B. CT pulmonary angiography immediately in all patients
C. Wells score, then age-adjusted D-dimer or CTPA per probability CORRECT
D. V/Q scan as the initial test in all patients
RATIONALE: The validated approach uses clinical probability (Wells/PERC) with age-adjusted
D-dimer to rule out PE in low/intermediate probability, reserving CTPA for high probability or
positive D-dimer. D-dimer alone is nonspecific in postoperative states, and universal CTPA or
V/Q scanning exposes patients to unnecessary testing.
