Psychobiologic Disorders Med Surg 2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which one of the following is the manifestation of specific learning disorder?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Specific learning disorder (SLD) involves difficulties with specific academic skills (reading, writing, or math) despite normal intelligence, making B the correct answer. A is incorrect as intellectual disability is a separate condition. C relates more to communication disorders, and D describes ADHD, not SLD.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is true regarding varenicline use?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Varenicline, a nicotine-receptor partial agonist for smoking cessation, is more effective than bupropion (not less), has increased risk of suicidal thoughts (noted in psychiatric exacerbation), and is not specifically indicated for high cardiac risk patients due to small cardiovascular risks. It's not safe in pregnancy (human data lacking), and courses typically last 12 weeks, not 4.
Question 3 of 5
A 23-year-old man reported being able to smell music after taking a cocktail of illicit drugs.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Synaesthesia is a perceptual condition where one sense (e.g., hearing music) triggers another (e.g., smelling), often drug-induced. Functional hallucinations occur with a real stimulus, delusional perception involves misinterpretation, command hallucinations are auditory orders, and autoscopy is seeing oneself.
