  1. A 45-year-old male presents with sudden onset crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm. Which initial diagnostic test is most critical?

  2. Which finding on urinalysis is most consistent with a diagnosis of nephrolithiasis in a patient with acute flank pain?

    Hematuria is present in approximately 85% of nephrolithiasis cases and is the hallmark urinalysis finding.

  3. A patient presents with anaphylaxis after a bee sting. What is the first-line treatment?

    Intramuscular epinephrine in the anterolateral thigh is the first-line and life-saving treatment for anaphylaxis.

  4. Which of the following best characterizes a CURB-65 score of 3 in a patient with community-acquired pneumonia?

    Answer: Consider hospitalization

    A CURB-65 score of 3 indicates severe pneumonia and warrants hospitalization and consideration of ICU-level care.

  5. A patient on warfarin presents with an INR of 8.5 and minor bleeding. What is the most appropriate management?

    Answer: Hold warfarin and give vitamin K orally

    For supratherapeutic INR with minor bleeding, holding warfarin and administering oral vitamin K is the standard approach.

    Amoxicillin (or penicillin V) remains the first-line antibiotic for Group A streptococcal pharyngitis due to its efficacy and narrow spectrum.
