✍️ Sample BCACP Questions & Answers
1. A diabetic patient develops a foot infection with purulent drainage. Which organism is most commonly responsible for mild-to-moderate diabetic foot infections?
Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA, is the predominant pathogen in mild-to-moderate diabetic foot infections.
2. Which vaccine is recommended annually for all adult patients in the ambulatory care setting regardless of age?
The CDC recommends annual influenza vaccination for all persons aged 6 months and older, making it the most universally recommended adult vaccine.
3. A patient taking apixaban requires emergent surgery within 8 hours after a serious fall. Which is the most appropriate reversal strategy?
Andexanet alfa is the FDA-approved specific reversal agent for apixaban and rivaroxaban, indicated for life-threatening or urgent surgical bleeding situations.
4. Which medication is first-line for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) pharmacotherapy in ambulatory care?
SSRIs, SNRIs, and buspirone are first-line for GAD due to efficacy without the dependence risk of benzodiazepines.
5. Dabigatran is contraindicated for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation when the patient's CrCl falls below which threshold?
Dabigatran is contraindicated in nonvalvular AF when CrCl is below 30 mL/min because its approximately 80% renal elimination creates high risk of drug accumulation and serious bleeding.
6. Which of the following clotting factors is NOT inhibited by warfarin?
Warfarin inhibits only vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X); Factor VIII is not vitamin K-dependent and is therefore unaffected.
