EXAM QUESTIONS
Q1.
EPAP
CORRECT ANSWER
expiratory positive airway pressure
RATIONALE
, EPAP is derived from the phrase "expiratory positive airway pressure," which refers to the pressure
applied during exhalation to keep airways open in patients with respiratory conditions. This
nomenclature is based on the medical terminology principle of describing functions and processes
using verbs, such as "expiratory," to indicate the direction or phase of airflow.
Q2.
CPAP
CORRECT ANSWER
continuous positive airway pressure
a treatment for apnea involving keeping a patient's airways open using air pressure delivered via
a face mask
IPAP=EPAP
RATIONALE
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, which is a treatment for apnea that involves
keeping a patient's airways open using air pressure delivered via a face mask. The statement
"IPAP=EPAP" is incorrect in this context, as IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) is a different
pressure setting in CPAP therapy, typically higher than EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure),
and they are not equal.
Q3.
ABCDE
CORRECT ANSWER
asymmetry, border, color, diameter >6mm, evolving
RATIONALE
This answer corresponds to the "ABCDE" mnemonic used in medical education, specifically for
identifying and remembering the key components of a melanoma (malignant skin cancer). Each letter
in the word represents a characteristic: A - Asymmetry, B - Border, C - Color, D - Diameter >6mm, and
, E - Evolving, which are all critical factors in determining the likelihood of a skin lesion being
cancerous.
Q4.
skin eruptions or exanthema 3 groups
CORRECT ANSWER
1. Macular and maculopapular lesions
2. vesicular or bullous lesions
3. pustular, petechial, or purpuric lesions
RATIONALE
These three groups of skin eruptions or exanthema are distinct categories based on the type of
lesions that form on the skin, reflecting different underlying mechanisms and clinical presentations.
By categorizing skin eruptions into macular, vesicular, pustular, petechial, or purpuric lesions,
healthcare professionals can better diagnose and manage various skin conditions effectively.
Q5.
secondary changes of skin lesions
CORRECT ANSWER
comedones, crusting, excoriation, lichenification, scales, scarring, telangiectasia
RATIONALE
These secondary changes of skin lesions are a result of chronic irritation or inflammation, which can
lead to various alterations in the skin's appearance, such as thickening, scarring, and visible blood
vessels. The listed conditions, including comedones, crusting, excoriation, and telangiectasia, are all
, consequences of prolonged skin irritation or inflammation, making them the correct answer to the
question.
Q6.
acne
CORRECT ANSWER
inflammatory disease of the skin involving the sebaceous glands and hair follicles
causes: corticosteriods, isoniazid
RATIONALE
The correct answer is a concise description of acne, which is an inflammatory disease of the skin
involving the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The mention of corticosteroids and isoniazid as
potential treatments or causes is less relevant, but it is implied that these are related to acne
because isoniazid can cause a type of skin reaction similar to acne, and corticosteroids can be used
to treat it.
Q7.
bullous lesions
CORRECT ANSWER
Caused by exfoliative toxins A and B
Have the appearance of wrinkled tissue paper
Lead to widespread desquamation of the skin
Patients are left vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections
causes: barbiturate overdose, penicillamine, sulfonamides
RATIONALE
The description of bullous lesions caused by exfoliative toxins A and B fits because exfoliative toxins
A and B are known to cause staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), a disease characterized
by widespread desquamation of the skin, forming bullous lesions that resemble wrinkled tissue
paper. The mention of secondary bacterial infections and the association with certain medications
