1. Describe the primary health complications that lead to death in individuals
with cystic fibrosis.
Death in cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by liver disease.
Pancreatitis is the leading cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis.
The primary health complications leading to death in cystic fibrosis
are related to respiratory failure due to chronic lung infections and
progressive lung damage.
Cystic fibrosis primarily leads to diabetes as the main cause of death.
2. If a patient presents with mild PMS symptoms, what combination of lifestyle
changes would you recommend to help manage their condition?
Surgical intervention to remove reproductive organs
Immediate prescription of antidepressants
Regular exercise and a balanced diet
Increased intake of sugary foods and sedentary lifestyle
3. A patient presents with extreme fatigue, low body temperature, and a slow
heart rate. Based on these symptoms, what condition should be suspected?
Myxedema coma
Congestive heart failure
Acute renal failure
Pulmonary embolism
,4. What is the primary indication for prescribing ACE inhibitors to diabetic
patients?
To manage hyperlipidemia
To lower blood sugar levels
To treat hypertension
To prevent diabetic nephropathy
5. Describe the relationship between protein C deficiency and the use of
estrogen-containing contraceptives.
Protein C deficiency leads to lower estrogen levels in the body.
Estrogen-containing contraceptives are safe for patients with protein
C deficiency.
Protein C deficiency prevents the effectiveness of estrogen-
containing contraceptives.
Estrogen-containing contraceptives can exacerbate the risk of
thrombosis in patients with protein C deficiency.
6. ACE inhibitors are the drug of choice in treating hypertension in diabetic
patients because they:
Improve insulin sensitivity
Improve renal hemodynamics
Reduce the production of angiotensin II
All of the above
7. Hypokalemia is associated with all EXCEPT:
Metabolic Acidosis
, Constipation
Metabolic Alkalosis
Cardiac arrhythmia
8. What is the most common hormonal abnormality associated with adrenal
incidentalomas?
Insulin resistance
Testosterone deficiency
Aldosterone deficiency
Cortisol excess
9. Atypical symptoms or unusual presentations of acute coronary syndromes
are more common in:
older adults, women, and diabetic individuals.
men, patients who have a history of coronary artery disease, and
patients who have a history of hypertension.
women, diabetic individuals, and individuals who have liver disease.
men, older adults, and individuals who have liver disease.
10. Describe the role of the iliohypogastric nerve in relation to the suprapubic
area.
The iliohypogastric nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin
of the suprapubic area.
The iliohypogastric nerve is responsible for motor function in the
lower limb.
The iliohypogastric nerve connects to the spinal cord at the cervical
level.
, The iliohypogastric nerve supplies blood to the suprapubic region.
11. A patient with diabetes should aim for their HbA1c to be less than:
7%
1%
0.2%
0.00001%
12. Describe the potential health implications of untreated hypokalemia.
Untreated hypokalemia has no significant health implications.
Untreated hypokalemia can lead to muscle weakness, arrhythmias,
and respiratory failure.
Untreated hypokalemia primarily causes dehydration and fever.
Untreated hypokalemia results in increased blood pressure and
anxiety.
13. Describe how non-hormonal treatments can alleviate vasomotor symptoms
during menopause.
Non-hormonal treatments, such as antidepressants, can help
reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
Non-hormonal treatments are ineffective for vasomotor symptoms.
Hormonal treatments are the only effective option.
Non-hormonal treatments only address psychological symptoms.
