What is the first-line pharmacologic treatment in acute anaphylaxis to stabilize airway and circulation?
Albuterol
Epinephrine
Prednisone
Diphenhydramine
Epinephrine is the drug of choice for anaphylaxis as it reverses bronchoconstriction and vasodilation. It stabilizes both airway and circulation rapidly.
Which intravenous fluid is most appropriate for initial resuscitation in a hypovolemic shock patient?
5% dextrose in water
Lactated Ringer's
Normal saline
Half-normal saline
Isotonic crystalloids like 0.9% saline quickly expand intravascular volume in hypovolemic shock. They are preferred initially over hypotonic or glucose-containing solutions.
Which of the following describes the mechanism of loop diuretics like furosemide?
Block ENaC channels in collecting duct
Enhance aldosterone secretion in distal tubule
Inhibit carbonic anhydrase in proximal tubule
Inhibit Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in thick ascending limb
Loop diuretics act by inhibiting the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, causing natriuresis and diuresis. This mechanism is more potent than thiazide diuretics.
A patient has a blood pH of 7.25, HCO3- of 16 mEq/L, pCO2 of 40 mm Hg. What acid-base disturbance is present?
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
The low pH and low bicarbonate with a normal pCO2 indicate a primary metabolic acidosis. There is no respiratory compensation evident.
Which time management technique involves 25 minutes of focused work followed by a five-minute break?
Pomodoro Technique
Eisenhower Matrix
Getting Things Done
Time-blocking
The Pomodoro Technique uses 25-minute work intervals separated by 5-minute breaks to improve focus and reduce burnout. It helps maintain consistent productivity.
In diabetic ketoacidosis, the predominant acid-base disturbance is:
High anion gap metabolic acidosis
Normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis
DKA leads to accumulation of ketone bodies, causing a high anion gap metabolic acidosis. The anion gap rises due to unmeasured acids.
Which diagnostic test is most sensitive and specific for confirming pulmonary embolism in a hemodynamically stable patient?
Ventilation-perfusion scan
D-dimer assay
Chest X-ray
CT pulmonary angiogram
CT pulmonary angiography provides direct visualization of emboli in pulmonary arteries and has high sensitivity and specificity, making it the preferred test in stable patients.
Heparin's anticoagulant effect primarily arises from its activation of which molecule?
Antithrombin III
Plasminogen
Protein C
Factor XIII
Heparin binds to antithrombin III and accelerates its activity, leading to inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa. This is central to its anticoagulant effect.
In a patient with an open (sucking) chest wound, the immediate emergency management is:
Provide supplemental oxygen only
Apply a three-sided occlusive dressing
Insert a chest tube immediately
Perform immediate needle decompression
A three-sided occlusive dressing prevents air entry into the pleural space while allowing air to escape, reducing risk of tension pneumothorax until definitive chest tube placement.
The pathophysiology of Graves' ophthalmopathy involves autoantibodies stimulating which receptor?
Beta-2 adrenergic receptor
Autoantibodies against collagen
TSH receptor
Histamine receptor
Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins bind to TSH receptors in orbital fibroblasts, leading to inflammation and tissue expansion characteristic of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
For surgical prophylaxis in an uncomplicated appendectomy, the recommended antibiotic is:
Cefazolin
Ciprofloxacin
Vancomycin
Metronidazole alone
A first-generation cephalosporin such as cefazolin is effective against skin flora and some anaerobes and is recommended for prophylaxis in appendectomy.
Which drug has a narrow therapeutic index requiring frequent INR monitoring?
Aspirin
Warfarin
Clopidogrel
Heparin
Warfarin dosing must be tailored to maintain a specific INR range due to interpatient variability and numerous drug interactions, reflecting its narrow therapeutic index.
A patient with hemolytic anemia will most likely have which laboratory finding?
Elevated haptoglobin and decreased bilirubin
Low LDH and elevated albumin
Decreased LDH and increased conjugated bilirubin
Elevated LDH and unconjugated bilirubin
Hemolysis releases LDH and free hemoglobin, which is converted to unconjugated bilirubin. Haptoglobin levels decrease due to binding free hemoglobin.
Which combination of lab findings is typical in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
Decreased PT/PTT, increased fibrinogen, decreased D-dimer
Normal PT/PTT, increased fibrinogen, normal D-dimer
Increased PT/PTT, increased fibrinogen, decreased D-dimer
Increased PT/PTT, decreased fibrinogen, increased D-dimer
In DIC, widespread clotting consumes clotting factors leading to prolonged PT/PTT and low fibrinogen. Fibrinolysis is activated, raising D-dimer levels.
In the Eisenhower Matrix, tasks classified as important but not urgent fall into which quadrant?
Quadrant IV
Quadrant III
Quadrant II
Quadrant I
Quadrant II contains tasks that are important for long-term goals but not urgent, helping individuals focus on planning and prevention for better time management.
In ARDS management, increasing PEEP primarily helps to:
Reduce intracranial pressure
Recruit alveoli and improve oxygenation
Decrease cardiac preload
Increase tidal volume
Positive end-expiratory pressure prevents alveolar collapse at end expiration, increasing functional residual capacity and improving oxygenation in ARDS patients.
Tacrolimus exerts its immunosuppressive effect by:
Interfering with pyrimidine synthesis
Inhibiting mTOR complex
Inhibiting calcineurin and decreasing IL-2 transcription
Blocking TNF-alpha receptors
Tacrolimus binds FKBP and inhibits calcineurin, preventing the dephosphorylation and activation of NFAT, which reduces IL-2 transcription and T-cell activation.
In a suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with hemodynamic instability, the immediate surgical emergency protocol involves:
Observation with serial abdominal exams
Abdominal ultrasound in ER then consult vascular surgery
Rapid transfer to OR for exploratory laparotomy
CT angiography before any intervention
Unstable patients with suspected ruptured AAA require immediate operative intervention without delay for imaging to control hemorrhage and improve survival.
A pathogenic mutation in myosin-binding protein C is most commonly associated with:
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene encoding myosin-binding protein C are one of the most common genetic causes of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
According to SMART goals for study planning, the 'T' in SMART stands for:
Thorough
Targeted
Tangible
Time-bound
SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, emphasizing deadlines to ensure progress and accountability.
