1. A 64-year-old male presents with sudden onset of crushing chest pain and diaphoresis. His
ECG shows ST-segment elevation in leads V3 and V4. Which coronary artery is most likely
occluded?
A. Right coronary artery
B. Left anterior descending artery
C. Left circumflex artery
D. Posterior descending artery
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: ST-segment elevation in V3 and V4 indicates an anterior wall MI,
which is typically associated with the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery.
2. A patient with a traumatic brain injury presents with a blood pressure of 190/110 mmHg, a
pulse of 48 beats/min, and irregular respirations. This constellation of signs is known as:
A. Beck’s Triad
B. Virchow’s Triad
C. Cushing’s Triad
,D. Whipple’s Triad
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: Cushing’s Triad consists of hypertension, bradycardia, and
irregular respirations (Cheyne-Stokes), indicating increased intracranial pressure.
3. You are treating a 28-year-old female who is 34 weeks pregnant and experiencing heavy
vaginal bleeding without pain. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mmHg. What is the most likely
diagnosis?
A. Abruptio placentae
B. Preeclampsia
C. Uterine rupture
D. Placenta previa
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: Placenta previa is characterized by painless, bright red vaginal
bleeding in the third trimester. Abruptio placentae usually presents with significant pain.
4. During the assessment of a pediatric patient in respiratory distress, you note ‘see-saw’
breathing. What does this finding indicate?
A. Normal pediatric respiratory pattern
B. Upper airway obstruction
C. Severe respiratory effort and impending failure
, D. Diaphragmatic hernia
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: See-saw breathing (chest collapses while the abdomen rises) is a
sign of severe respiratory distress in infants and indicates that the patient is working very
hard to breathe.
5. A 45-year-old patient was pulled from a house fire. He has soot around his nose and
mouth, a hoarse voice, and stridor. What is the most immediate priority?
A. Early endotracheal intubation
B. Aggressive fluid resuscitation
C. Application of 100% oxygen via non-rebreather
D. Nebulized albuterol treatment
Answer: A
Conceptual Explanation: Stridor and soot in the airway are signs of impending airway
edema due to inhalation injury. Securing the airway early is critical before swelling makes
intubation impossible.
6. Which of the following findings is most characteristic of neurogenic shock compared to
other types of distributive shock?
A. Bradycardia
B. Cool, clammy skin
