diagnostic test is most appropriate to investigate the case?
- A) Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- B) Chest X-Ray
- C) MRI of the brain
- D) ECG
Answer: B) Chest X-Ray
Rationale: A chronic cough and lymphadenopathy might
suggest a pulmonary condition, thus a chest X-ray is appropriate for
initial investigation.
2. Question: When assessing the cranial nerves, which test would
you use to evaluate CN VII (facial nerve) function?
- A) Asking the patient to stick out their tongue

loss in one eye. Which condition is most suspected?
- A) Retinal detachment
- B) Cataracts
- C) Macular degeneration
- D) Glaucoma

Rationale: Sudden onset vision loss could indicate retinal
detachment, whereas cataracts and macular degeneration typically
progress slowly.
4. Question: Which sound characteristic is consistent with a
pericardial friction rub?
