A 4-year-old boy has had otitis media with effusion (OME) for several weeks and his condition has recently progressed to acute otitis media (AOM). Which of the following factors could have contributed to his AOM?<br \/>\nReflux of fluid from the boy\u2019s nose into his middle ear<br \/>\nA deficiency in immunoglobulin G<br \/>\nAccumulation of cerumen in the external acoustic meatus<br \/>\nSensorineural deficits in the auditory control apparatus<br \/>\nExposure to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)<br \/>\nQuestion 2. Which of the following statements best captures the role of the adrenal cortex in maintaining homeostasis?<br \/>\nThe adrenal cortex is responsible for the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are part of the sympathetic nervous system.<br \/>\nThe adrenal cortical hormones are primarily steroids and sex hormones.<br \/>\nRedundant, secondary production of adrenal cortical hormones can compensate for the loss of the adrenal glands.<br \/>\nNormal sexual function is dependent on adequate adrenal cortical function.<br \/>\nQuestion 3. A 29-year-old woman has been diagnosed with otosclerosis after several years of progressive hearing loss. What pathophysiologic process has characterized her diagnosis?<br \/>\nNew, sclerotic bone has been formed around her stapes and oval window.<br \/>\nHer incus, malleus, and stapes have become disconnected from her normal neural pathways.<br \/>\nHer temporal bone is experiencing unusually rapid resorption.<br \/>\nHer tympanic cavity is becoming filled with bone due to inappropriate osteogenesis.<br \/>\nQuestion 4. A three-year-old girl has just been diagnosed with type 1A diabetes and her parents are currently receiving education from the diabetes education nurse at the hospital where their daughter is receiving treatment. How can the nurse best explain the etiology of their daughter\u2019s health problem to her parents?<br \/>\n\u201cThe problem that underlies her diabetes is that her own body has destroyed the cells in her pancreas that produce insulin.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s not known exactly why your daughter has completely stopped making insulin, and treatment will consist of your rigidly controlling her diet.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThis tendency to produce insufficient amounts of insulin is likely something that she inherited.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEnvironmental and lifestyle factors are known to play a part in the fact that her pancreas secretes and withholds insulin at the wrong times.\u201d<br \/>\nQuestion 5. An endocrinologist is providing care for a 30-year-old male who has lived with the effects of increased levels of GH. Which of the following teaching points about the patient\u2019s future health risks is most accurate?<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s not unusual for unusually high GH levels to cause damage to your hypothalamus.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cGH excess inhibits your pancreas from producing enough insulin.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe high levels of GH that circulate in your body can result in damage to your liver.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhen your pituitary gland is enlarged, there\u2019s a real risk that you\u2019ll develop some sight deficiencies.<br \/>\nQuestion 6. Following a long history of fatigue, weakness, and poor appetite, a 39-year-old male has been diagnosed with hypopituitarism. Which of the following clinical findings would most likely cause his care team to suspect that the man has an additional endocrine disorder from a different source?<br \/>\nThe man has a low sperm count and has been unable to have children.<br \/>\nThe man has a chronic platelet deficiency and is occasionally anemic.<br \/>\nThe patient is 5 feet 2 inches tall and was consistently short for his age as a child.<br \/>\nThe man displays the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism.<br \/>\nQuestion 7. Which of the following questions is most likely to be clinically useful in the differential diagnosis of sensorineural versus conductive hearing loss?<br \/>\n\u201cWhat medications do you currently take?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhat effect is this hearing loss having on your quality of life?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHas your hearing loss developed quickly or more slowly?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cDo you ever hear a persistent ringing in your ears?\u201d<br \/>\nQuestion 8. As part of the diagnostic workup for a patient\u2019s long-standing vertigo, a clinician wants to gauge the patient\u2019s eye movements.
