Q3. A 79-year-old woman presented with sudden loss of vision in the right eye. She was taking warfarin and digoxin for chronic atrial fibrillation. Answer: This is a clinical scenario - the most likely cause is an embolic event (central retinal artery occlusion) related to her AF, highlighting stroke risk.

The one that is NOT a Shigella species - this question may refer to S. flexneri being a valid species. All options a-e are Shigella species; this may be a trick question about spelling - "boydi" vs "boydii") Most likely intended answer: e. S. boydi (incorrect spelling, implying it is not a valid species designation)

Q35. What is not true about definition of Rhinitis? Answer: a. Rhinitis is inflammation of the mucous lining of the nasal cavity (This is actually TRUE about rhinitis - so the "not true" answer would be one of the other options about specificity of the term)

Q2. What is NOT a complication of acute otitis media? Answer: a. Chronic otitis media Chronic otitis media is a separate condition/continuation, not typically listed as a complication. The complications include: hearing loss, perforation, mastoiditis, meningitis, and chronic rhinorrhea (but not chronic OM itself). (Some sources list: b. Hearing loss, c. Perforation, d. Poor speech development, e. Chronic rhinorrhea as complications - making "a. Chronic otitis media" the NOT a complication answer)

Q15. Complication of Rotavirus syndrome is: Answer: b. Vomiting (More accurately: the major complications are dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Among the choices: a. Diarrhoea, b. High infectivity, c. Vomiting, d. Dissemination - the complication specifically of Rotavirus syndrome beyond typical is d. Dissemination in immunocompromised children) Answer: d. Dissemination (in immunocompromised patients)

Q33. What isn't truth about incidence of acute Gastroenteritis? Answer: b. Acute sinus infections that have failed antibiotic treatment (this option doesn't fit - likely: the false statement about gastroenteritis incidence)

Q36. Viral causes of gastroenteritis isn't: a. Rotavirus Answer: a. Rotavirus is a viral cause (so it IS a viral cause). The answer that is NOT a viral cause would be b. Calcivirus (Norovirus) - actually Norovirus IS viral. The non-viral cause among options would be a bacterial one. Most likely answer: e. Toroviru (not a recognized standard viral cause)

Q37. What is a key indicator of clinical depression in terminal patients? Answer: a. Anhedonia Persistent loss of pleasure/interest (anhedonia) is the key distinguishing feature of clinical depression.

Acute nasal infection (chronic adenoiditis)

Q36. (See Pediatrics above)

Q38. Types of chronic tonsillitis is not: a. Chronic follicular tonsillitis Answer: d. Chronic fibroid tonsillitis Chronic tonsillitis types include: follicular, parenchymatous, and fibroid - all ARE types, but the question asks which is NOT - likely referring to a non-standard classification. Answer: a. Chronic follicular tonsillitis is NOT a recognized standard type (if the question means this)

Q39. (See Pediatrics above)

Q9. What is truth about chronic infection of Tonsillitis? Answer: b. Group A Streptococcus (EQUATION) (The image reads "Group A (EQUATION)" - likely: Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus is the most common cause) Answer: b. Group A Streptococcus is the most common cause

Q11. Risk factors of acute gastroenteritis is: a. Dehydration Answer: b. Prolongation of diarrhea with resultant malnutrition (Dehydration is a complication, not a risk factor; malnutrition is the correct risk factor consequence) Answer: c. Secondary infections

Q13. Triggering Factors of Asthma is NOT: Answer: a. Respiratory (viral) infections (Viral infections ARE a trigger; the "not a trigger" is d. Drugs such as aspirin - actually aspirin CAN trigger asthma in aspirin-sensitive patients. The correct "not a trigger" is c. Strong emotional expressions - these ARE triggers too. This question likely has: a. Respiratory viral infections as NOT the answer since they ARE triggers) Answer: d. Drugs (aspirin) - Wait, aspirin IS a trigger (Samter's triad). Most likely: c. Strong emotional expressions is the NOT a trigger... but emotional stress IS a trigger. Correct answer: a. Respiratory (viral) infections are the most common trigger, so the "not a trigger" among the options is likely d. Drugs (aspirin) is actually a trigger - suggesting the answer is b. Chemical irritants which is also a trigger.

Important note: Some questions in the image are partially cut off or blurry (particularly Q3, Q13, Q16, Q17, Q24, Q33, Q35, Q38). I have given the best answers based on medical knowledge, but please cross-reference with your course materials for those specific questions. The image resolution makes some answer options difficult to read with full certainty.
