3-A 78-year-old man is evaluated for the onset of dyspnea on exertion.
He has a long history of tobacco abuse ,obesity and diabetes mellitus his current medication include metformin, aspirin and occasional ibuprofen. On physical examination his peripheral pulse show a delayed peak and he has a prominent left ventricular heave he is in a regular rhythm with IV/VI mid-systolic murmur that is loudest at the base of the heart and radiates to the carotid arteries. A fourth heart sound is present. Echocardiography confirms severe aortic stenosis without other valvular lesions. Which of the following most likely contribute to the development of his cardiac lesion? A-Congenital bicuspid aortic valve b-Occult rheumatic heart disease c- diabetes mellitus d-underlying connective tissue disease
4-False about delirium TTTx?
-sedatives are the agents of choice
5-A 75-year-old man complains of 6 months of shortness of breath. He
has new dyspnea on exertion and orthopnea. Lung auscultation reveals bilateral rales. He has bilateral firm pitting edema. Jugular venous pressure is estimated to be 14 cm H2O at 45° angle. Chest radiograph reveals pulmonary congestion and an enlarged cardiac silhouette. EKG shows low voltage in the precordial and limb leads. An echocardiogram shows a dilated left ventricle, ejection fraction of 20%, and mitral regurgitation. Which finding on cardiac examination would be consistent with this patient diagnosis? a-absent S2 b-narrow pulse pressure c-pulsus bisferiens d-accentuated S1
6-Which is true about neurological changes in aging ?
-there are individual variations
7- A patient has Holosystolic murmur heard in left sternal border ,
increased with inspiration with congested neck veins & congested tender liver This patient has: - Tricuspid regurge
8-Early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease include all of the following
except..? a-gradual loss of long-term memory b-mood or personality changes c-problems finding or speaking the right word d-forgetting how to use simple, ordinary things such as pencils e-loss of abstract thinking 9- A patient with delirium outside the ICU ,the next step is…? a- Make the environment appropriate (light,sounds…) b- Take history
