Anti-DM medications for weight loss - (ANSWER)GLP1 receptor agonists e.g.
Exenatide
SGLT-2 inhibitor e.g. Canagliflozin
Screening test with greatest potential for over diagnosis - (ANSWER)PSA
Clinical manifestation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - (ANSWER)Asymmetric leg
weakness
Opioid to avoid in palliative patient with severe hepatic dysfunction -
(ANSWER)Methadone
,2
- It is metabolized and cleared by the liver, and should therefore not be used in

NOAC with reversal agent - (ANSWER)Dabigatran
Reduces alcoholism but creating an acute ethanol sensitivity -
(ANSWER)Disulfiram
Antidepressant to be avoided in the elderly - (ANSWER)Paroxetine (associated
with more anticholinergic effects)

Screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis - (ANSWER)Not
recommended
In anaphylaxis, which drug is most likely helpful in preventing the need for

Positive family history of colorectal cancer - (ANSWER)Individuals who have a

For those who report that they can eat lightly cooked scrambled eggs, vaccination
can proceed without precaution or observation. Those who have experienced
only hives can also receive any influenza vaccine appropriate for their age and
health status.
People who have experienced symptoms such as hypotension, wheezing, nausea,
or vomiting, or reactions requiring emergency attention or epinephrine after
eating eggs or egg-containing foods can also receive any influenza vaccine
appropriate for their age and health status and also do not need to be observed.
However, the vaccine should be administered by a provider who can recognize
and manage severe allergic reactions.
