1: Sickle Cell Anemia Pathophysiology
Question: In sickle cell anemia, RBC sickling is initially reversible
with oxygenation. However, repeated episodes cause the cells to
become:
o A. Completely normal
o B. Irreversibly sickled
o C. Larger in size
o D. More flexible
Answer: B. Irreversibly sickled. Repeated sickling episodes cause
irreversible damage to the red blood cell membrane, leading to
permanently sickled cells .
2: Phalen's Test for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Question: The Phalen's sign is performed by asking the patient to:
o A. Place both elbows on a table while keeping both forearms
vertical and flexing both wrists
o B. Press the backs of their hands together
,o C. Extend their wrists and hold for 60 seconds
o D. Tap over the median nerve
Answer: A. This test is used to assess for carpal tunnel syndrome
by flexing the wrists to compress the median nerve .
3: Fundal Height at 34 Weeks Gestation
Question: At 34 weeks of gestation, the fundus of the uterus is
expected to be located:
o A. At the umbilicus
o B. Halfway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process
o C. Just below the xiphoid process
o D. Just above the pubic symphysis
Answer: C. Just below the xiphoid process. By 34 weeks, the
fundus typically reaches its highest point, just below the xiphoid
process .
4: Contraindication for Beta-Blockers
Question: Which of the following is a contraindication for the use
of a non-selective beta-blocker like atenolol?
o A. A 43-year-old female with asthma
o B. A 55-year-old male with hypertension
o C. A 60-year-old with stable angina
o D. A 30-year-old with migraines
Answer: A. A 43-year-old female with asthma. Beta-blockers
can cause bronchoconstriction and are generally contraindicated
in patients with reactive airway disease .
5: Risk Associated with Athletic Amenorrhea
, Question: A female athlete with amenorrhea is at increased risk
for:
o A. Anemia
o B. Osteoporosis
o C. Infertility
o D. Cardiac arrhythmias
Answer: B. Osteoporosis. The hypoestrogenic state from
amenorrhea, especially combined with low energy availability,
significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis .
6: Fundal Height at 20 Weeks Gestation
Question: At 20 weeks of gestation, the fundus of the uterus is
expected to be located:
o A. At the umbilicus
o B. Halfway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process
o C. Just below the xiphoid process
o D. Just above the pubic symphysis
Answer: A. At the umbilicus. At approximately 20 weeks, the
fundal height reaches the level of the umbilicus .
7. Sickle Cell Anemia

o D. Just above the pubic symphysis
o Answer: C. By 34 weeks, the fundus typically reaches its highest
point, just below the xiphoid process .
