1st Attempt Pass
1. Cushing's disease findings - ANSWER✔️-Common findings include moon
facies, abdominal striae, and central obesity; low body temperature is not
typical.
2. Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 evaluation - ANSWER✔️-Should include annual
renal function tests, urinalysis, and a dilated eye exam.
3. Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score - ANSWER✔️-The
MELD score is specifically used to prioritize and assess transplant need in
cirrhosis.
4. Deep palpitation - ANSWER✔️-An enlarged spleen is at risk of rupture, so
avoid deep palpation if mononucleosis is suspected.
5. Gram negative rods - ANSWER✔️-Perforated ulcers and resultant
peritonitis often involve gram-negative enteric organisms (e.g., E. coli).
6. Hydrocele - ANSWER✔️-A fluid-filled scrotal enlargement that can
transilluminate is most consistent with a hydrocele.
7. Leaning forward - ANSWER✔️-Sinus pressure typically worsens when
bending or leaning forward.
8. Lymphoma - ANSWER✔️-'B symptoms' (night sweats, weight loss) plus
hilar lymphadenopathy strongly suggests lymphoma.
,9. Ehlers-Danlos - ANSWER✔️-Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue
disorder, can be linked to vitreous abnormalities.
10.Homonymous hemianopia - ANSWER✔️-Loss of the right visual field in
both eyes is a right homonymous hemianopia (post-chiasmal lesion).
11.TIBC and ferritin - ANSWER✔️-Iron studies (especially serum ferritin,
TIBC) confirm iron deficiency (the most common cause of microcytosis
with high RDW).
12.Thalassemia trait - ANSWER✔️-Thalassemia typically shows microcytosis
with normal RBC distribution width, as opposed to iron deficiency (which
raises RDW).
13.Vitamin B12 - ANSWER✔️-Macrocytosis suggests checking B12 or folate
to differentiate causes.
14.Normal MCH, hemoglobin 9.6 - ANSWER✔️-ESRD often causes a
normocytic, normochromic anemia (low hemoglobin, but normal indices).
15.Aspirin use - ANSWER✔️-Reye syndrome in children has been associated
with aspirin administration during viral illnesses.
16.IgM - ANSWER✔️-IgM anti-HAV rises early in acute hepatitis A
infections.
17.Hepatitis Core antibody - ANSWER✔️-After about a year, the IgG core
antibody (anti-HBc) typically remains positive in ongoing or past HBV
infection.
18.Antinuclear antibody - ANSWER✔️-ANA testing is the primary screening
test for SLE.
19.Apocrine - ANSWER✔️-Apocrine sweat gland obstruction (e.g., in
hidradenitis suppurativa) often leads to abscess formation.
20.Irregular border - ANSWER✔️-An irregular or poorly demarcated border is
a classic red flag for melanoma.
,21.Actinic keratosis - ANSWER✔️-Actinic (solar) keratoses are considered
premalignant lesions from sun (UV-B) damage.
22.S1 heart sound - ANSWER✔️-Auscultated during systole, marking the
closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
23.Basic metabolic profile - ANSWER✔️-The initial test for a patient with new
palpitations, including electrolytes and an ECG.
24.Aortic valve location - ANSWER✔️-Best identified at the 2nd intercostal
space, right sternal border.
25.Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration - ANSWER✔️-Recommended
for at least 12 months after drug-eluting stent placement in cases of elevated
troponin.
26.Localized egophony - ANSWER✔️-Most likely implies lung consolidation,
such as pneumonia.
27.Percussion of the thorax - ANSWER✔️-Helps identify if underlying tissues
are air-filled, fluid-filled, or consolidated.
28.Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) - ANSWER✔️-Expected to be less-than-
expected in patients with severe interstitial lung disease.
29.Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV₁) - ANSWER✔️-A decreased
level is most suggestive of obstructive lung disease.
30.Graves' Disease - ANSWER✔️-Most likely diagnosis for a patient with
goiter and symptoms of anxiety, palpitations, and tremor.
31.Exophthalmos - ANSWER✔️-A typical sign associated with Graves'
hyperthyroidism.
, 32.Diameter of 0.8 cm - ANSWER✔️-Lesions >6 mm (0.6 cm) in diameter are
concerning ("D" in ABCDE). At 0.8 cm, it's suspicious.
33.GABA - ANSWER✔️-Alcohol enhances GABA; withdrawal states lead to
relative GABA deficiency, causing hyperadrenergic symptoms.
34.TSH and free T4 - ANSWER✔️-Thyroid function tests help rule out
hyperthyroidism, which can mimic anxiety symptoms.
35.Olfactory - ANSWER✔️-Perceiving nonexistent odors is an olfactory
hallucination.
36.Depression - ANSWER✔️-Depression is the most frequent psychiatric
condition co-existing with self-harm/suicidality.
37.Damage to the rotator cuff - ANSWER✔️-Pain on overhead abduction or
arm raise commonly indicates rotator cuff pathology.
38.Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain - ANSWER✔️-TMJ issues cause jaw
pain, limited mouth opening, and often benefit from bite guards.
39.Ankylosing spondylitis - ANSWER✔️-Sacroiliitis plus decreased lumbar
mobility is classic for ankylosing spondylitis.
40.Trigeminal nerve - ANSWER✔️-The trigeminal nerve (CN V) provides
facial sensory innervation.
41.Snellen chart for visual acuity - ANSWER✔️-CN II (optic nerve) is
assessed with visual acuity (Snellen) and visual fields.
42.Stereognosis - ANSWER✔️-Stereognosis tests the ability to perceive and
identify objects by touch alone.
43.Impaired gag reflex - ANSWER✔️-CN IX provides sensory input for the
gag reflex.
44.Hematuria with RBC casts - ANSWER✔️-Diagnosis confirmed after a
patient successfully treated for strep infection.
