SECTION 1: ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT (1–45)
1. A 24-year-old woman presents with dysuria, urinary frequency, and urgency for
two days. She denies vaginal discharge, fever, or flank pain. Which management
approach is most appropriate?
A) Empiric antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infection
B) Pelvic examination and cervical culture
C) Urinalysis and urine culture
D) Referral to urology
Correct Answer: C | Rationale: Urinalysis and culture confirm diagnosis and guide
targeted therapy. Empiric treatment is appropriate after urinalysis if symptoms
are classic and uncomplicated.
2. A 32-year-old woman presents with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and
dyspareunia. On bimanual examination, the provider notes uterine tenderness
1
,and bilateral adnexal fullness. What is the most appropriate initial diagnostic
step?
A) Transvaginal ultrasound
B) Laparoscopy
C) Endometrial biopsy
D) Hysterosalpingography
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Transvaginal ultrasound is the first-line imaging for
evaluating pelvic pain and adnexal masses. Laparoscopy is diagnostic but invasive.
3. A 45-year-old woman presents with postmenopausal bleeding. What is the
priority diagnostic test?
A) Transvaginal ultrasound
B) Endometrial biopsy
C) Pap smear
D) Hysteroscopy
Correct Answer: B | Rationale: Endometrial biopsy is the gold standard to
evaluate postmenopausal bleeding and rule out endometrial cancer. Transvaginal
ultrasound measures endometrial thickness but biopsy is definitive.
4. A 28-year-old nulliparous woman reports pelvic pressure and a sensation of a
bulge in the vagina. On examination, a cystocele is noted. What is the most
appropriate initial management?
A) Pessary fitting
B) Surgical repair
C) Kegel exercises and pelvic floor physical therapy
D) Estrogen therapy
Correct Answer: C | Rationale: Pelvic floor muscle training is first-line conservative
management for mild to moderate prolapse. Pessary is used if conservative
measures fail or if surgery is deferred.
5. A 52-year-old woman presents with a palpable adnexal mass. She has a history
of breast cancer. Which imaging modality is most appropriate for initial
evaluation?
2
,A) Transvaginal ultrasound with Doppler
B) Computed tomography (CT) scan
C) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
D) Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Transvaginal ultrasound is the first-line imaging for
adnexal masses, providing information on size, morphology, and vascularity.
6. A 38-year-old woman with a history of PCOS presents with hirsutism and
irregular menses. Which laboratory test is most useful to confirm the diagnosis?
A) Serum testosterone
B) Serum DHEA-S
C) Serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone
D) Serum prolactin
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Elevated total or free testosterone is common in
PCOS. DHEA-S helps rule out adrenal hyperandrogenism; 17-OHP screens for
congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
7. A 29-year-old woman presents with vaginal discharge, odor, and pruritus. On
wet mount, the provider observes clue cells and a positive whiff test. What is the
diagnosis?
A) Bacterial vaginosis
B) Candidiasis
C) Trichomoniasis
D) Atrophic vaginitis
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Clue cells and a positive whiff test (fishy odor with
KOH) are diagnostic of bacterial vaginosis. Candidiasis shows yeast and
pseudohyphae; trichomoniasis shows motile flagellated organisms.
8. A 47-year-old perimenopausal woman reports irregular menstrual bleeding.
She has a BMI of 34 and a history of hypertension. What is the most important
initial evaluation?
A) Endometrial biopsy
B) Transvaginal ultrasound
3
, C) Serum beta-hCG
D) Complete blood count
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Endometrial biopsy is indicated for women over 45
with irregular bleeding, especially with risk factors for endometrial cancer
(obesity, hypertension, diabetes). The biopsy excludes hyperplasia or malignancy.
9. A 25-year-old woman presents with acute right lower quadrant pain, nausea,
and fever. On examination, there is cervical motion tenderness. What is the
priority differential diagnosis?
A) Appendicitis
B) Pelvic inflammatory disease
C) Ruptured ovarian cyst
D) Ectopic pregnancy
Correct Answer: B | Rationale: Cervical motion tenderness (chandelier sign) is
classic for PID. However, appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, and ruptured cyst must
be considered. A pregnancy test is essential to rule out ectopic.
10. A 34-year-old G2P2 woman reports stress urinary incontinence. On
examination, a Q-tip test shows urethral hypermobility. What is the initial non-
surgical management?
A) Kegel exercises and bladder training
B) Pessary fitting
C) Midurethral sling
D) Estrogen therapy
Correct Answer: A | Rationale: Kegel exercises (pelvic floor muscle training) and
bladder training are first-line conservative treatments for stress urinary
incontinence. Pessary is an option if conservative measures fail.
11. A 41-year-old woman presents with a pelvic mass found incidentally on
imaging. She is asymptomatic. What is the most appropriate next step?
A) Observation with serial ultrasounds
B) CT scan
C) Laparoscopy
