PRACTICUM AND INTENSIVE | 100% CORRECT |
GRADE A – CHAMBERLAIN
Orchitis can occur in males infected with .....ANSWER.....mumps
2 viral infections caused by Coxsackie viruses are
.....ANSWER.....hand foot and mouth disease and herpangina
quinolines can increase sensitivity to .....ANSWER.....sun
caput succedaneum .....ANSWER.....scalp edema - Caput
succedaneum is a common finding in newborns. It is a result of
pressure over the presenting part. This results in some ecchymosis
of the scalp. While this may be disturbing to new parents who

What laboratory test can be used to help diagnose Lyme
disease .....ANSWER.....ELISA - this is the most common initial test
for Lyme - if positive, it should be confirmed with western blot
Erysipelas .....ANSWER.....involves the upper dermis and
superficial lymphatics; usually caused by strep
cellulitis .....ANSWER.....involves deeper dermis and subcutaneous
fat - caused by staph and less commonly, strep
A 60 year-old patient is noted to have rounding of the distal
phalanx of the fingers. What might have caused this?
.....ANSWER.....Hepatic cirrhosis - Rounding of the distal phalanx
describes clubbing. Clubbing of fingers is most often associated
with chronic hypoxia as seen in cigarette smokers and patients
with COPD or lung cancer. Other causes are cirrhosis, cystic
fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and cyanotic heart disease.
A patient is diagnosed with tinea pedis. A microscopic
examination of the sample taken from the infected area would
,Page 3 of 33
likely demonstrate: .....ANSWER.....hyphae - Under microscopic
exam, hyphae are long, thin and branching, and indicate
dermatophytic infections. Hyphae are typical in tinea pedis,
tinea cruris, and tinea corporis. Yeasts are usually seen in
candidal infections. Cocci and rods are specific to bacterial
infections
Borellia - Lyme .....ANSWER........
A patient is found to have koilonychia. What laboratory test
would be prudent to perform? .....ANSWER.....Koilonychia is the
term that describes spoon shaped nails. Spoon shaped nails may
be present in patients with long-standing iron deficiency anemia.
A CBC should be performed to assess for anemia. The most
common symptoms of iron deficiency anemia are weakness,
headache, irritability, fatigue, and exercise intolerance.
wood's lamp .....ANSWER.....used to determine presence of
hyphae - A Wood's lamp emits ultraviolet light when turned on. If
, Page 4 of 33
an area fluoresces under Wood's lamp illumination, a fungal
(and sometimes bacterial) infection should be suspected.
The incubation period for scabies is about .....ANSWER.....3-4
weeks after primary infection; Patients with subsequent infections
with scabies will develop symptoms in 1-3 days.
#1 goal with sinusitis is .....ANSWER.....to promote drainage - do
NOT use antihistamines
IDSA says oral decongestants (sudafed, phenylephrine) not
helpful in ABRS .....ANSWER.....may benefit it it's AVRS with
euastachian tube dysfunction
1st line med for ABRS in adults .....ANSWER.....augmentin (500
TID or 875 BI)
augmentin 875/125 has less side effects - why
.....ANSWER.....dosed BID so 250 of clavulanate vs. 375 with the
500/175 TID dosing - clavulanate is a potassium salt and causes
diarrhea
