Which primary lesions are associated with acne caused by sebum blockage in hair follicles?

Furuncles.

Carbuncles.

Comedones.

Striae.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Furuncles, also known as boils, are deep folliculitis caused by bacterial infection, not sebum blockage.

Choice B rationale

Carbuncles are clusters of furuncles connected under the skin and are also caused by bacterial infection, not sebum blockage.

Choice C rationale

Comedones are primary lesions of acne caused by the blockage of hair follicles by sebum and keratin. They can be open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads).

Choice D rationale

Striae, also known as stretch marks, are caused by the tearing of the dermis due to rapid stretching of the skin and are not related to sebum blockage in hair follicles.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Pinpoint pupils can indicate opioid use or damage to the pons, a part of the brainstem. This finding warrants further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate intervention.

Choice B rationale

Absence of pupillary response suggests severe brain injury or brainstem dysfunction. It is a critical finding that requires immediate medical attention to address potential life-threatening conditions.

Choice C rationale

Pupil reaction to light is a normal response indicating intact cranial nerve function. This finding does not raise neurologic concerns and does not require further investigation.

Choice D rationale

Quick pupil reaction is a normal response and indicates healthy cranial nerve function. This finding is not associated with neurologic concerns.

Choice E rationale

Unequal pupils, or anisocoria, can indicate increased intracranial pressure, brain injury, or nerve damage. This finding requires prompt assessment and intervention to prevent further complications.

A. Bradycardia. B. Bradypnea. C. Hypertension. D. Tachycardia.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Bradycardia (slow heart rate) is one of the key components of Cushing's triad, which indicates increased intracranial pressure and impending herniation.

Choice B rationale

Bradypnea (slow respiratory rate) is another manifestation of Cushing's triad and reflects brainstem compression.

Choice C rationale

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the third component of Cushing's triad, resulting from the body's attempt to maintain cerebral perfusion.

Choice D rationale

Tachycardia (rapid heart rate) is not a sign of Cushing's triad and is not associated with increased intracranial pressure.
