Correct Answer: Antimuscarinics
If symptoms don't go away after bladder training, antimuscarinic drugs like tolterodine and oxybutynin can be used.
Correct Answer: Myocarditis
This case illustrates the difficulty with the MSRA. Many of these possibilities are realistic, and in order to rule out some of the causes, more testing (such as ECG, Troponin, and CXR) would be necessary. However, myocarditis is the most likely diagnosis given the three-day history and recent flu-like symptoms.

Correct Answer: Multinodular Goitre
Compared to Graves' Disease, which typically manifests as a smooth goitre, multinodular goitre is the more likely diagnosis due to the multiple nodules and thyrotoxic symptoms. The symptoms and observations at this time do not point to a thyroid storm, although this could worsen into one if treatment is delayed.
Correct Answer: Pulmonary Fibrosis

PO Haloperidol continues to be the most acceptable option among those offered, even though treating the underlying cause of delirium is the most appropriate management approach and is not listed as an option.
