Young patient with emphysema:
- A.
  
  Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency
- B.
  
  Cystic Fibrosis
- C.
  
  Pneumonia
- D.
  
  Chronic Asthma
Correct Answer
A. AlpHa 1 anti-trypsin deficiency

Explanation
The correct answer is Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency. Emphysema is a condition characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs, leading to shortness of breath. Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder that causes a deficiency in the protein alpha 1 anti-trypsin, which helps protect the lungs from damage. Without enough of this protein, the lungs are more susceptible to damage, leading to emphysema. This condition typically occurs in younger patients and can be confirmed with genetic testing.

The chromosome of cystic fibrosis:
- A.
  
  Long arm of chromosome 7
- B.
  
  Short arm of chromosome 8
- C.
  
  Long arm of chromosome 8
- D.
  
  Short arm of chromosome 17
Correct Answer
A. Long arm of chromosome 7

Explanation
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 7. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that regulates the movement of salt and water in and out of cells. Mutations in the CFTR gene result in the production of a defective protein, leading to the buildup of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. Therefore, the correct answer is the long arm of chromosome 7.

Patient with asthma use short acting beta agonist and systemic corticosteroid
- A.
  
  Severe
- B.
  
  Moderate
- C.
  
  Mild persistent
- D.
  
  Mild intermittent
Correct Answer
A. Severe

Explanation
Patients with severe asthma require more aggressive treatment compared to patients with mild or moderate asthma. Short-acting beta agonists (SABA) are bronchodilators that provide immediate relief by relaxing the airway muscles. Systemic corticosteroids, on the other hand, are anti-inflammatory medications that help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma attacks. The combination of SABA and systemic corticosteroids is commonly used in the treatment of severe asthma to provide both immediate relief and long-term control of symptoms. Therefore, the use of short-acting beta agonist and systemic corticosteroid is appropriate for a patient with severe asthma.

25 years old man had fixation of fractured right femur. Two days later he became dyspnic, chest pain and hemoptysis. ABG:-pH: 7.5, PO2:65,PCO2: 25, initial treatment is
- A.
  
  Heparin
- B.
  
  Furosemide
- C.
  
  Warfarin
- D.
  
  Bronchoscopy
Correct Answer
A. Heparin

Explanation
The correct answer is Heparin. The patient's symptoms of dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis suggest a possible pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a common complication following fractures. The arterial blood gas (ABG) findings of a high pH (alkalosis) and low PCO2 (respiratory alkalosis) indicate hyperventilation, which can be a compensatory response to a PE. Heparin is the initial treatment of choice for PE as it prevents further clot formation and helps dissolve existing clots. Furosemide is a diuretic and would not be the appropriate treatment for a PE. Warfarin is used for long-term anticoagulation but has a delayed onset of action and would not be the initial treatment. Bronchoscopy is not indicated in the management of a PE.

60 years admitted to the hospital as end stage COPD, what will you expect in lab.Work ?
- A.
  
  Erythrocytosis
- B.
  
  Low ferritin level
- C.
  
  Hypokalemia
- D.
  
  Hyponatremia
Correct Answer
A. Erythrocytosis

Explanation
In end stage COPD, the body compensates for the low oxygen levels by producing more red blood cells, leading to erythrocytosis. This is a common finding in COPD patients as the body tries to improve oxygen-carrying capacity. Low ferritin levels may be seen due to chronic inflammation and poor nutrition. Hypokalemia can occur due to the use of diuretics or corticosteroids. Hyponatremia may be present due to fluid retention and dilutional effect. However, the most expected finding in lab work for a patient with end stage COPD would be erythrocytosis.

- B.
  
  A two-drug regimen consisting of isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (Rifadin).
- C.
  
  A three-drug regimen consisting of isoniazid, rifampin, and ethumbutol (Myambutol).
- D.
  
  No treatment for most patients until infection is confirmed by culture
- E.
  
  A five-drug regimen consisting of Ionized, Rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethumbutol and ciprofloxacin
Correct Answer
A. A four-drug regimen consisting of isoniazid, refimpin, pyarazinamide and ethumbutol

Explanation
The recommended initial treatment for most adults with active tuberculosis is a four-drug regimen consisting of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. This combination of drugs helps to effectively kill the tuberculosis bacteria and prevent the development of drug resistance. Isoniazid and rifampin are considered the backbone of tuberculosis treatment, while pyrazinamide and ethambutol are added to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the risk of drug resistance. This regimen has been proven to be highly effective in treating tuberculosis and is the standard of care for most patients.

History of recurrent pneumonia, foul smelling sputum with blood and clubbing, what is the diagnosis?
- A.
  
  Bronchiectasis
- B.
  
  Pneumonia
- C.
  
  Lung Abscess
- D.
  
  COPD
Correct Answer
A. Bronchiectasis

Explanation
The symptoms described, such as a history of recurrent pneumonia, foul smelling sputum with blood, and clubbing, are indicative of bronchiectasis. Bronchiectasis is a condition characterized by the permanent dilation of the bronchi, leading to the accumulation of mucus and recurrent infections. The foul smelling sputum with blood suggests the presence of infection and damage to the bronchial walls. Clubbing, a condition where the fingertips and nails become enlarged and rounded, is often associated with chronic respiratory conditions like bronchiectasis. Therefore, based on the symptoms provided, bronchiectasis is the most likely diagnosis.

Patient came with chest pain radiate to jaw increase with exercise, decrease with rest, what is the diagnosis?
- A.
  
  Stable angina
- B.
  
  Unstable angina
- C.
  
  Pulmonary embolism
- D.
  
  Prenzmetal angina
Correct Answer
A. Stable angina

Explanation
The patient's symptoms of chest pain that radiates to the jaw and worsens with exercise but improves with rest are characteristic of stable angina. Stable angina is caused by a temporary reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This reduction in blood flow leads to chest pain or discomfort, which can radiate to the jaw. The pain typically occurs during physical exertion or emotional stress and is relieved by rest or medication.

Drug used in treatment of CHF which decrease the mortality
- A.
  
  B blocker
- B.
  
  Verapamil
- C.
  
  Nitrates
- D.
  
  Digoxin
Correct Answer
A. B blocker

Explanation
B blockers, also known as beta blockers, are drugs used in the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) that have been shown to decrease mortality. These medications work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, reducing the heart rate and blood pressure. This helps to relieve the workload on the heart and improve its function. B blockers are commonly prescribed for CHF patients as they have been proven to improve symptoms, reduce hospitalizations, and increase survival rates. Therefore, B blockers are an effective treatment option for CHF patients to decrease mortality.

- A.
  
  Mid-diastolic rumbling murmur
- B.
  
  Holosystolic
- C.
  
  Innocent murmur
- D.
  
  Mid systolic
Correct Answer
A. Mid-diastolic rumbling murmur

Explanation
The correct answer is mid-diastolic rumbling murmur. This type of murmur is commonly associated with mitral stenosis, a condition where the mitral valve becomes narrowed and restricts blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The murmur is heard during mid-diastole, when the ventricles are filling with blood. It is described as a rumbling sound and is typically low-pitched. This murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow across the narrowed mitral valve.

Old male come with CHF & pulmonary edema, what is the best initial therapy
- A.
  
  Furosemide
- B.
  
  Digoxin
- C.
  
  Debutamine
- D.
  
  Aspirin
Correct Answer
A. Furosemide

Explanation
Furosemide is the best initial therapy for an old male with congestive heart failure (CHF) and pulmonary edema. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body by increasing urine production. This can help reduce the fluid overload in the lungs and improve symptoms of pulmonary edema. Digoxin is not the best initial therapy for this condition as it is primarily used to improve heart function in patients with heart failure. Debutamine is a misspelled term and does not exist as a medication. Aspirin is not the best initial therapy for CHF and pulmonary edema as it is primarily used for its antiplatelet effects and is not effective in reducing fluid overload.

  Propranolol
- B.
  
  Nitroglycerine
- C.
  
  Thiazide
- D.
  
  Morphine
Correct Answer
A. Propranolol

Explanation
Propranolol is the best treatment option for a female with migraine and hypertension. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps to reduce blood pressure and prevent migraines by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. It is commonly used in the treatment of hypertension and has been found to be effective in preventing migraines as well. Nitroglycerine is used for the treatment of angina, not migraines or hypertension. Thiazide is a diuretic that is primarily used for hypertension, but it is not specifically indicated for migraines. Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic that is not typically used for the treatment of migraines or hypertension.

  Aspirin
- C.
  
  Warfarin
- D.
  
  Clopidogrel
Correct Answer
A. LMW heparin

Explanation
Given the patient's history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pregnancy, LMW heparin is the most appropriate choice. LMW heparin is commonly used in pregnant women with a history of DVT because it is safe for both the mother and the baby. It helps to prevent blood clots by inhibiting the formation of fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting. Aspirin, warfarin, and clopidogrel are not recommended during pregnancy due to their potential risks to the developing fetus.

- A.
  
  Elderly male with normal heart
- B.
  
  Male with AF & prosthetic heart valve
- C.
  
  Male with AF & cardiomyopathy
- D.
  
  Young male with Atrial fibrillation & mitral stenosis
Correct Answer
A. Elderly male with normal heart

Explanation
Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots. It works by inhibiting the clotting factors in the blood. In the given options, all the individuals mentioned have conditions that put them at an increased risk of developing blood clots. Atrial fibrillation (AF), prosthetic heart valves, cardiomyopathy, and mitral stenosis are all associated with an increased risk of clot formation. However, an elderly male with a normal heart does not have any specific condition that would warrant the use of warfarin. Therefore, warfarin would not be given to an elderly male with a normal heart.

Middle aged male s involved in RTA, his RR is 30/min, heart sounds is muffled& the JVP is elevated, BP: 80/40 & a bruise over the sternum, what is the diagnosis?
- A.
  
  Pericardial tamponade
- B.
  
  Pneumothorax
- C.
  
  Pulmonary contusion
- D.
  
  Hemothorax
Correct Answer
A. Pericardial tamponade

Explanation
Based on the given information, the most likely diagnosis is pericardial tamponade. The elevated JVP (jugular venous pressure) and muffled heart sounds suggest fluid accumulation in the pericardium, which can lead to compression of the heart. This can cause a decrease in blood pressure (80/40) and an increased respiratory rate (RR 30/min) due to decreased cardiac output. The presence of a bruise over the sternum also suggests trauma, which can cause pericardial tamponade. Pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, and hemothorax may cause similar symptoms, but they do not explain the specific findings of an elevated JVP and muffled heart sounds.

Best way to prevent infection in nursery
- A.
  
  Hand wash before and after examining the infants
- B.
  
  Gowns
- C.
  
  Antiseptic technique
- D.
  
  Antibiotic
Correct Answer
A. Hand wash before and after examining the infants

Explanation
Hand washing before and after examining the infants is the best way to prevent infection in a nursery. This is because hand washing helps to remove and kill any harmful bacteria or viruses that may be present on the hands. Infants have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infections, so it is important to maintain proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of germs. Gowns, antiseptic technique, and antibiotics may also be helpful in preventing infection, but hand washing is the most effective and basic preventive measure.

While you are in the clinic you find that many patients presents with red follicular conjunctivitis (Chlamydia) your management is:
- A.
  
  Improve water supply and sanitation
- B.
  
  Improve sanitation and destroying of the vector
- C.
  
  Eradication of the reservoir and destroying the vector
- D.
  
  Destroy the vector and improve the sanitation
Correct Answer
A. Improve water supply and sanitation

Explanation
Improving water supply and sanitation can help prevent the transmission of Chlamydia, which causes red follicular conjunctivitis. This is because Chlamydia can be spread through contaminated water and poor sanitation practices. By ensuring clean water supply and proper sanitation measures, the risk of infection can be reduced. This approach focuses on addressing the root causes of the problem and preventing further transmission, rather than targeting specific vectors or reservoirs.

Most difficult method to prevented in transmission
- A.
  
  Airflow
- B.
  
  Droplet
- C.
  
  Vector
- D.
  
  Person to person
Correct Answer
A. Airflow

Explanation
Airflow is the most difficult method to prevent in transmission because it is challenging to control and contain. Airflow can carry infectious particles over long distances, making it difficult to implement effective preventive measures. While measures like wearing masks and maintaining physical distance can help reduce the spread of droplets and person-to-person transmission, controlling airflow requires advanced ventilation systems and proper air circulation techniques, which may not be easily achievable in all settings. Therefore, preventing transmission through airflow poses significant challenges and requires specialized interventions.

An 18 years old male who was involved in an RTA had fracture of the base of the skull. O/E he had loss of sensation of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue & deviation of the angle of the mouth. Which of the following nerves is affected?
- A.
  
  VII (Facial)
- B.
  
  IV (Abducens)
- C.
  
  V (Trigeminal)
- D.
  
  III (Occulomotor)
- E.
  
  I (Olfactory)
Correct Answer
A. VII (Facial)

Explanation
The fracture of the base of the skull is likely to have affected the facial nerve (VII). Loss of sensation of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and deviation of the angle of the mouth are both signs of facial nerve damage. The other nerves listed (IV, V, III, I) do not innervate the tongue or control the muscles of facial expression, making them less likely to be affected in this case.

  HLADR4
- B.
  
  Any synovial joint
- C.
  
  M=F
- D.
  
  Destruction in articular cartilage
Correct Answer
A. HLADR4

Explanation
HLADR4 is associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the synovial joints. It is more common in women than in men. The disease is characterized by the destruction of the articular cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, inflammation, and joint deformity. HLADR4 is a genetic marker that has been found to be strongly associated with an increased risk of developing Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Old patient with dehydration corrected with 3 liters of D5 , later he became confused with headache.
- A.
  
  Hyponatremia
- B.
  
  Hypernatremia
- C.
  
  Hypokalemia
- D.
  
  Hyperkalemia
Correct Answer
A. Hyponatremia

Explanation
The patient's confusion and headache after being corrected for dehydration with D5 (a solution containing dextrose and water) suggests hyponatremia, which is a condition characterized by low levels of sodium in the blood. D5 solution is hypotonic and can dilute the sodium levels in the body, leading to hyponatremia. This condition can cause neurological symptoms such as confusion and headache.

All of the following are causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) except:
- A.
  
  Syphilis
- B.
  
  Toxoplasmosis
- C.
  
  CMV
- D.
  
  HSV II
- E.
  
  Rubella
Correct Answer
A. SypHilis

Explanation
Syphilis is not a cause of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). IUGR refers to a condition where a baby does not grow at the expected rate inside the womb. Common causes of IUGR include infections such as toxoplasmosis, CMV, HSV II, and rubella. However, syphilis is not known to directly cause IUGR. It is important to note that untreated syphilis during pregnancy can lead to a range of complications for both the mother and the baby, but IUGR is not one of them.

Surveillance of patient on hormone replacement therapy includes all of the following except:
- A.
  
  Glucose tolerance test.
- B.
  
  Blood pressure.
- C.
  
  Breast examination.
- D.
  
  Endometrial sampling in the presence of abnormal bleeding
- E.
  
  Pelvic examination.
Correct Answer
A. Glucose tolerance test.

Explanation
The surveillance of a patient on hormone replacement therapy involves monitoring various aspects of their health. Glucose tolerance test is not included in this surveillance because it is primarily used to diagnose diabetes or assess insulin resistance, which are not directly related to hormone replacement therapy. The other options, such as blood pressure, breast examination, endometrial sampling, and pelvic examination, are all important in monitoring the patient's response to hormone replacement therapy and detecting any potential complications.

- A.
  
  Maternal asthma
- B.
  
  Maternal diabetes
- C.
  
  Maternal hypertension
- D.
  
  Maternal cancer
Correct Answer
A. Maternal asthma

Explanation
Hemabate is a medication used for the treatment of post-partum hemorrhage, which is excessive bleeding after childbirth. However, it is relatively contraindicated in women with maternal asthma. This means that although it may still be used in certain cases, caution should be exercised because it could potentially worsen asthma symptoms or trigger an asthma attack in these individuals. It is important to consider the potential risks and benefits of using Hemabate in women with asthma and to closely monitor their respiratory status during treatment.

Correct Answer
A. 50 ml/kg for 4 hour then 100 ml/kg /day after

Explanation
The correct answer is 50 ml/kg for 4 hours then 100 ml/kg /day after. This is the recommended treatment for mild viral diarrhea in a 6-month-old baby. The initial dose of 50 ml/kg over 4 hours helps to rehydrate the baby and replace the lost fluids. After this initial phase, a maintenance dose of 100 ml/kg per day is given to ensure continued hydration and prevent dehydration.

Cow milk differ from mature human milk that cow milk contain more:
- A.
  
  More protein
- B.
  
  More Iron content
- C.
  
  More calories
- D.
  
  More fat
Correct Answer
A. More protein

Explanation
Cow milk differs from mature human milk in that it contains more protein. This is because cows require more protein in their diet to support their larger size and higher activity levels compared to humans. Additionally, cow milk is often used as a source of nutrition for calves, who need a higher protein content to support their growth and development. In contrast, human milk is specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of human infants, which includes a lower protein content compared to cow milk.

Treatment of tetralogy of fallout ,all true EXCEPT
- A.
  
  Chest tube insertion.
- B.
  
  Thoracotomy
- C.
  
  Use of systemic antibiotics.
- D.
  
  Immunoglobulin
Correct Answer
A. Chest tube insertion.

Explanation
The treatment of tetralogy of fallout includes thoracotomy, the surgical procedure to repair the defects in the heart. Systemic antibiotics are used to prevent or treat any infections that may occur. Immunoglobulin may be administered to boost the immune system. However, chest tube insertion is not a part of the treatment for tetralogy of fallout. A chest tube is typically used to drain fluid or air from the chest cavity, but it is not directly involved in treating the specific heart defects associated with tetralogy of fallout.
