Question 1 of 5
An 80-year-old man is admitted to the hospital after falling on an icy sidewalk and fracturing his hip. He undergoes open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture. At surgery, there does not appear to be any bone disease at the fracture site. The patient was previously asymptomatic. Physical examination findings are otherwise unremarkable. Serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation show an IgM κ monoclonal protein (0.3 g/dL). The complete blood cell count and serum creatinine levels are normal. Skeletal survey shows no additional bone defects. Which of the following statements is true for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is indicated by low IgM (0.3 g/dL), normal CBC, creatinine, and no bone lesions. Regular follow-up is needed (1% annual progression risk). Myeloma (A) requires end-organ damage. IgM has higher risk than IgG (B incorrect). Bone scan (C) is unnecessary; risk is 1%, not 10% (E).
