1) Which of the following hormones acts through receptors that contain tyrosine kinase?
a- ADH
b- aldosterone
c- calcitonin
d- epinephrine
e- insulin
2) A physician is in an elevator with 3 residents and overhears their conversion: "How could you make such a mistake?" one asks another. You knew Mr. Morris was allergic to penicillin! he continues. You know that the antibiotic cross reacts with penicillin. Now he has a rash everywhere! You'd better hope he doesn't develop respiratory problems. We are all going to get sued! Which of the following is the most appropriate response for the physician?
A, advise the residents to report this as an adverse drug reaction
B, ascertain which ward the patient is on so that he can review the chart
C Ask the resident qhich antibiotic was used so that he does not make a similar mistake
D Remind the residents that discussions about patients should be kept private
I think the answer is A
3) A 49 year old man has a 1 week history of shortness of breath without fever, chills, or cough. Breath sounds are decreased in the left lower lobe, and there is decreased vocal and tactile fremitus and dullness to percussion in this area. The most likely diagnosis is:
a- bronchiectasis
b- bronchospasm
c- emphysema
d- lobar consolidation
e- pleural effusion
f- pneumothorax
I think the answer is e pleural effusion and not lobar consolidation because question says decrease vocal and tactile fremitus whereas it is increased in consolidation.
Please advise.
Thank you
