Question 1
What is the treatment for corneal abrasion?
Correct Answer:
Removal of foreign body, supportive care, topical antibiotics as needed
Explanation:
Corneal abrasions are shallow injuries of the corneal epithelium, so management aims to promote healing and prevent infection. The best approach is to remove any foreign body if present and thoroughly irrigate the eye, then provide supportive care to comfort and heal the surface. Topical antibiotics are added to prevent bacterial keratitis because the protective barrier is breached. This combination directly addresses the mechanical injury and the infection risk without resorting to invasive procedures. Immediate corneal transplant would be far too aggressive for a simple abrasion and is reserved for much more extensive disease such as full-thickness loss or perforation. Oral antibiotics alone don’t provide adequate local coverage, and doing nothing would miss the chance to prevent infection and promote healing.
Question 2
Which statement about risk factors for hip fracture is true?
Correct Answer:
Decreased bone density, impaired balance, cognitive impairment, and history of falls are risk factors
Explanation:
Hip fracture risk is multifactorial. Low bone density weakens the bones, making fractures more likely with minor trauma. However, many hip fractures result from falls, so factors that increase fall risk are crucial: impaired balance and cognitive impairment raise the chances of a fall, and a history of falls strongly predicts future fractures. Regular exercise actually lowers fracture risk by improving strength and balance, so it is not a risk factor. Young age is not linked to higher hip fracture risk. Together, decreased bone density, impaired balance, cognitive impairment, and history of falls capture the main risk factors.
Question 3
What is a chalazion?
Correct Answer:
An inflamed nodule that develops on the eyelid, often caused by blocked glands.
Explanation:
Chalazion is a chronic, noninfectious blockage of a meibomian gland in the eyelid that leads to a granulomatous inflammation. It presents as a painless, firm, rubbery nodule on the eyelid, often the upper lid, which may slowly enlarge. This contrasts with a stye, which is an acute, painful, purulent infection of eyelid glands. It also isn’t an intraocular problem like iris inflammation (iritis), which causes eye pain and photophobia, or a malignant eyelid tumor, which tends to have irregular borders and progressive changes over time. The description “an inflamed nodule that develops on the eyelid, often caused by blocked glands” best fits chalazion because it captures the typical location, painless nodular swelling, and the underlying mechanism of duct obstruction.
Question 4
A chalazion most commonly appears on which eyelid?
Correct Answer:
Upper eyelid.
Explanation:
Chalazion is a blockage of a meibomian gland within the tarsal plate of the eyelid, leading to a sterile granulomatous inflammation and a painless, nodular lump. The upper eyelid has a higher density of meibomian glands, so obstructions—and thus chalazia—occur most often there. The lesion develops in the eyelid tissue itself, not at the lid margin or corners, which is why it’s not typically described at the center of the eyelid margin or near the lateral canthus. So, the most common site is the upper eyelid.
Question 5
Which gait abnormality is commonly associated with hip displacement?
Correct Answer:
Trendelenburg gait
Explanation:
Gait pattern caused by weakness of the hip abductors, particularly the gluteus medius and minimus, during single-leg stance. When you stand on one leg, these muscles keep the pelvis level. If they’re weak—as can happen with hip displacement or instability—the pelvis drops toward the opposite side, and the person may lean the trunk over the stance leg or develop a waddling step to compensate. This is the hallmark Trendelenburg gait. Other patterns don’t fit the mechanism here: an antalgic gait stems from pain altering stance time, a hemiplegic gait from a central nerve lesion causing leg drift or circumduction, and a spastic diplegic gait from tone abnormalities (as in cerebral palsy). In hip displacement, the key issue is abductor weakness leading to an unstable pelvis during single-leg support, i.e., Trendelenburg gait.
