Format: Multiple Choice with Rationales
1. At what age does the American Cancer Society (ACS) recommend
routine screening for colon cancer in a low-risk individual?
A) 40
B) 45
C) 50
D) 55
Correct Answer: B) 45
Rationale:
1. The American Cancer Society updated its guidelines in 2018 to lower
the recommended screening age from 50 to 45 for average-risk
adults.
2. This change reflects increasing colorectal cancer incidence in younger
populations.
3. Screening options include colonoscopy, FIT, or stool DNA testing.
2. The treatment plan for a patient with acute diarrhea would include:
A) Docusate tablets once a day
B) Fluid replacement
, 2|Page
C) Sodium chloride tablets
D) Restricted electrolyte solutions
Correct Answer: B) Fluid replacement
Rationale:
1. Acute diarrhea causes fluid and electrolyte loss, leading to dehydration.
2. Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) or IV fluids are the cornerstone of
treatment.
3. Antidiarrheal medications are not always recommended, especially if
infection is suspected.
3. Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer.
A) True
B) False
Correct Answer: A) True
Rationale:
1. Cigarette smoke contains carcinogens (e.g., aromatic amines) that are
excreted in urine.
2. These carcinogens damage the urothelium, increasing bladder cancer
risk.
3. Smoking is responsible for approximately 50% of bladder cancer cases.
4. What is included in the treatment plan for a patient with mild
hemorrhoids?
A) Increased fluid intake, low fiber, opioid pain medications, and warm sitz
baths
B) Decreased fluid intake, low fiber diet, topical analgesics, warm sitz baths
C) Oral analgesics, warm sitz baths, decreased fluid intake, and Bacitracin
cream
D) Increased fluid intake, high-fiber diet, topical analgesics, warm sitz baths
Correct Answer: D) Increased fluid intake, high-fiber diet, topical
analgesics, warm sitz baths
Rationale:
1. High-fiber diet and increased fluids soften stool, reducing straining.
2. Warm sitz baths improve local blood flow and reduce discomfort.
3. Topical analgesics (e.g., lidocaine, hydrocortisone) relieve pain and
inflammation.
