Oral Medicine - 3 Questions

1
Oral Medicine

A patient with known hypertension is started on clonidine therapy. Which of the following is a potential side effect of this medication?
(1) Increased heart rate
(2) Peripheral edema
(3) Sexual dysfunction
(4) Diarrhea

📝 Explanation:

Clonidine is a centrally acting antihypertensive that reduces blood pressure by decreasing sympathetic outflow. It can sometimes cause bradycardia rather than increased heart rate. Other common side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and sedation.

Oral Medicine

A patient is admitted with suspected cholera. What is the most appropriate initial treatment for this condition?
(1) Intravenous antibiotics
(2) Intravenous fluids and electrolytes
(3) Intravenous opioids
(4) Intravenous corticosteroids

📝 Explanation:

The most critical aspect of cholera treatment is aggressive rehydration to replace the large volume of fluid and electrolytes lost through diarrhea. Antibiotics may be administered to reduce the duration of illness and the volume of diarrhea, but rehydration is the immediate priority.

3
Oral Medicine

What is the primary treatment for a pneumothorax?
(1) Inhalation of oxygen
(2) Chest tube placement
(3) Pleural fluid drainage
(4) Anti-inflammatory medication

📝 Explanation:

The definitive treatment for a pneumothorax is the insertion of a chest tube, which allows the evacuation of air or gas from the pleural space and the re-expansion of the lung. This is crucial for alleviating the symptoms and preventing the condition from progressing to a tension pneumothorax, which can be life-threatening. Other treatments may include oxygen therapy and pain management.
