2. Question
Why should a person with Type 1 Diabetes(MD) consider using an insulin pump?
Correct
Patients with MD should consider the use of an insulin pump, which provides a continuous insulin infusion into the blood, therefore, maintaining blood glucose in the normal range of 80-130 mg/dL.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
A middle-aged woman with hypothyroidism presents at 10 weeks gestation for a prenatal visit. Her only medication at the moment is levothyroxine. What change is probably needed to her levothyroxine dose?
Correct
Her dose will have to be increased by up to 50%! and not more. Higher TBG levels in pregnancy lead to lower free T3/T4 levels and higher TSH and hence need to increase intake of levothyroxine medication.
Incorrect
Her dose will have to be increased by up to 50%! and not more. Higher TBG levels in pregnancy lead to lower free T3/T4 levels and higher TSH and hence need to increase intake of levothyroxine medication.

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
Hypothyroidism is a state involving low levels of T3/T4 commonly as a result of Hashimoto thyroiditis. Which of the following is the best medication for such a case?
Correct
For uncomplicated hypothyroidism like Hashimoto disease, you should administer levothyroxine. In subclinical hypothyroidism with high TSH and normal T4, the patient should be treated with levothyroxine if TSH less than 10 mU/L.
Incorrect
For uncomplicated hypothyroidism like Hashimoto disease, you should administer levothyroxine. In subclinical hypothyroidism with high TSH and normal T4, the patient should be treated with levothyroxine if TSH less than 10 mU/L.

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
A patient is admitted to the hospital with bone problems and an x-ray shows a “mosaic” lamellar bone pattern. Which bone condition could the patient be suffering from?
Correct
Paget is identifiable by a high rate of bone turnover with excessive formation of bone, leading to a mosaic bone pattern appearance. Its suspected to be caused by the effects of latent viral infection in genetically susceptible individuals.

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
Which of the following factors may cause hypercalcemia?
Correct
Hypercalcemia can result when too much calcium enters the extracellular fluid or when there is insufficient calcium excretion from the kidneys. Most cases of hypercalcemia are usually a result of hyperparathyroidism or malignancy.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
Which of the following mechanism can control Calcium levels in a human body?
Correct
Calcium is controlled by controlling all major regulatory hormones and influencing hormones. Controlling hormones include calcitonin and vitamin D. In the kidney, vitamin D stimulates the activity of the epithelial calcium channel and the calcium-binding protein like calbindin to increase active transcellular calcium absorption in the distal convoluted tubule.

Which of the following is the major cause of Cushing Syndrome among adults?
Correct
Cushing syndrome is a result of elevated serum cortisol levels and mostly from prolonged usage of exogenous corticosteroids. The most frequent endogenous cause is hypersecretion of ACTH from a pituitary adenoma.
