Sample itemWhat is a typical symptom of angina?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
A. Exertional chest discomfort
The core Cardiology principle makes Exertional chest discomfort the best answer because it directly explains the stated presentation, investigation, or immediate management priority.
Option by option
A. Exertional chest discomfort (correct)
Correct. Exertional chest discomfort follows from the crucial clinical clue in the stem.
B. Painless rash
Painless rash does not fit the requested cardiology conclusion.
C. Sudden deafness
Sudden deafness may be relevant in another clinical setting but is not best here.
D. Chronic diarrhea
Chronic diarrhea does not address the underlying finding or indicated action.
