PAEA EM EOR |CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT|EXAM 2025 WITH
100% ACCURATE ANSWERS
1. What are the three imaging techniques mentioned for diagnosing aortic
dissection?
Ultrasound, Angiography, CT
X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound
CT, PET, SPECT
CTA, MRA, TEE
2. What is the primary use of Indomethacin in clinical practice?
Antibiotic therapy for infections
Treatment for pericarditis
Management of hypertension
Pain relief for arthritis
3. In a clinical scenario where an IV drug user presents with fever and a new
heart murmur, what would be the most appropriate initial diagnostic test to
evaluate for endocarditis?
Chest X-ray
CT scan of the abdomen
Blood cultures
Electrocardiogram
,4. Describe the significance of identifying an organic cause in a patient
presenting with sudden onset of altered mental status (AMS).
, Identifying an organic cause is less important than managing the
patient's symptoms immediately.
Identifying an organic cause is unnecessary since AMS can be
treated with psychological therapy.
Identifying an organic cause is only relevant for chronic conditions,
not acute presentations.
Identifying an organic cause is crucial as it helps in diagnosing
underlying medical conditions that may require immediate
treatment.
5. If a patient presents with a blowout fracture involving the maxillary bone,
what immediate diagnostic test should be performed to assess the extent
of the injury?
CT scan of the orbit
Ultrasound of the eye
X-ray of the skull
MRI of the brain
6. The most widely used test to diagnose an aortic dissection is a(n) ___
U/S
MRA
TEE
CTA
7. The primary mechanism of action of citrate in preventing stone formation is:
Reducing urinary oxalate excretion
, Complexing calcium in urine
Complexing phosphate in urine
Complexing oxalate in urine
Reducing urinary calcium excretion
8. What is the 1st line medication for priapism?
phenylephrine
phenytoin
terbutaline
tamsulosin
9. Describe the role of the talofibular ligament in ankle stability and how its
injury can affect mobility.
The talofibular ligament is responsible for flexing the ankle and its
injury causes pain during flexion.
The talofibular ligament supports the arch of the foot, and its injury
leads to flatfoot.
The talofibular ligament connects the tibia to the fibula and does not
affect ankle stability.
The talofibular ligament provides lateral stability to the ankle, and
its injury can lead to instability and difficulty in weight-bearing.
10. The manufacturer of a particular B-type natriuretic protein (BNP) test states
that the BNP test has a high negative predictive value for congestive heart
failure (CHF). What does this mean?
The likelihood of a patient having CHF is low if the BNP result is
elevated.
