D. Admit her for psychiatric hospitalization –
Correct Answer :
A. Draw blood for a complete metabolic panel and complete blood count
This patient suffers from anorexia nervosa. Patients who are under 75% of expected body
weight warrant admission to a psychiatric facility, however it is necessary to draw labs rst to
asses whether she is at risk for likethreatening conditions such as re-feeding syndrome which
can be assessed by her potassium, phosphate and magnesium levels. A CBC is also helpful
to asses for severe anemia. She will most likely need to be admitted. She would either be
admitted to a medical hospital or a psychiatric hospital, depending on the facility. Some
psychiatric hospitals will not admit her if she is at severe risk for re-feeding syndrome and
therefore a psychiatric hospital will require labs before this decision is made. While a
nutritionist, and psychotherapy, all may at some point play a role in her care, this ill patient
requires hospitalization after her labs return. Bupropion is contraindicated in patients with
eating disorders as it lowers the seizure threshold.

An 21 year old female comes to you for a physical prior to enlisting in the military. She has
previously received 2 MMR and 2 varicella vaccines, as well as 3 hepatitis B and 2 hepatitis
A vaccines. She received meningococcal conjugate and Td vaccines at age 11 and 2 HPV
vaccines at age 15. You tell her she needs the following vaccines at this visit:
A. 3rd HPV vaccine and Meningococcal vaccine
B. Restart the HPV series today and return in 2 months for the 2nd dose and 4 months later
for the 3rd dose
C. Meningococcal conjugate, Tdap, and 3rd HPV
D. Meningococcal conjugate, Td, and 3rd HPV –
Correct Answer :
C. Meningococcal conjugate, Tdap, and 3rd HPV
3rd HPV vaccine and a meningococcal booster are needed. Meningococcal vaccine is
recommended at age 11 with a booster at age 16 -18 years of age. If college freshman did not
receive this booster then this can be given up to age 21 for those college freshmen living in
dorms. HPV vaccine is a 3 dose series over a period of 6 months however if a dose is missed
there is no need to start the series over. Children 14 and younger require only two doses of
the HPV vaccine rather than the previously recommended three shots. Waning immunity
against tetanus and diphtheria is responsible for the recommendation for universal
administration of Td boosters every 10 years. The United States Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP) also recommends a single dose of a vaccine containing
tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap; Adacel or Boostrix)
0.5 mL IM in place of Td for all adults aged 19 years and older who have not received Tdap
previously to address waning immunity against pertussis.
