Q
  1. A 15 year-old member of the high school marching band comes to your office for evaluation of hearing loss. He had multiple ear infections as an infant and toddler, and he had to have myringotomy tubes inserted in his ears. Additionally, he suffers from many allergies. His hearing is diminished in the right ear. When you place a vibrating tuning fork on the top of his head, the sound lateralizes to the right ear. The name of this test is:

(A) Weber’s test

(B) Rinne’s test

(C) Whisper test

(D) Romberg test

A

Q

A 28-year-old housewife presents to your office for a 6-week postpartum check-up. She complains of fatigue grater than expected and palpitations. Her hair is falling out as well. She denies sadness or depression symptoms. Before this, she had not had any medical problems. She is breast feeding her child and is not on any birth control. She had her first period since giving birth last week. A pregnancy test done in the office is negative. What is your most likely diagnosis?

(A) Thyroiditis

(B) Iron-deficiency anemia

(C) Addison’s disease

(D) Sheehan’s syndrome

A
  1. (A) Thyroiditis
41
Q
A
  1. (B) Place your index fingers above the cricoid cartilage
