Format: Multiple Choice & True/False with Rationales
1. What is the Lachman test used for?
A) To assess the MCL
B) To assess the CVL
C) To assess the LCL
D) To assess the ACL
Correct Answer: D) To assess the ACL
Rationale:
1. The Lachman test is the most sensitive physical exam maneuver for
detecting anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
2. With the knee flexed at 20–30 degrees, the examiner stabilizes the
femur and pulls the tibia forward.
3. Increased anterior translation with a soft endpoint indicates ACL
injury.
2. What nerve (name and number) is affected in Bell’s Palsy?
A) Trigeminal nerve; number V
B) Facial nerve; number VII
, 2|Page
C) Vagus nerve; number X
D) Hypoglossal nerve; number XII
Correct Answer: B) Facial nerve; number VII
Rationale:
1. Bell’s palsy is an idiopathic peripheral facial nerve (CN VII) palsy.
2. It causes unilateral facial droop, forehead involvement, and inability to
close the eye.
3. Differentiates from stroke, which typically spares the forehead.
3. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is often referred to as ______ and
the cornerstone of treatment is ______.
A) Parkinson’s disease; steroids
B) Huntington’s disease; disease-modifying drugs
C) Lou Gehrig’s disease; symptom management
D) Bright’s disease; plasma exchange
Correct Answer: C) Lou Gehrig’s disease; symptom management
Rationale:
1. ALS is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease after the baseball
player.
2. No cure exists; treatment focuses on symptom management
(respiratory support, nutrition, spasticity).
3. Riluzole and edaravone offer modest disease-modifying effects but are
not curative.
4. What is the thickest and longest tendon in the body and also the one
most commonly ruptured?
A) Gluteus maximus tendon
B) Achilles tendon
C) Vastus lateralis tendon
D) Brachioradialis tendon
Correct Answer: B) Achilles tendon
