Medical Council of Canada MCCQE Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Fibroadenomas can grow slightly or fluctuate in size. A minimal increase (from 1.5 cm to 1.7 cm) over six months is clinically insignificant. No malignant features are reported, and the previous biopsy confirmed benign nature. Annual follow-up is appropriate.

Toronto Notes 2023 – Obstetrics and Gynecology, “Breast Disorders” Section:

“Fibroadenomas are benign breast masses that may slightly enlarge. Routine imaging follow-up at 6 to 12 months is appropriate for lesions with benign imaging and histology.”

MCCQE1 Objectives (Obstetrics and Gynecology > 82-3: Breast Mass):

“Candidates must distinguish between benign and suspicious masses and determine appropriate intervals for follow-up imaging.”

Repeat biopsy (A) or surgery (B) is unwarranted without suspicious change. MRI (C) is not needed in stable, benign lesions. Tamoxifen (D) is not used for fibroadenomas.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

In postpartum hemorrhage with a firm uterine fundus and intact placenta, a common cause is trauma such as a vaginal or cervical tear. Uterine atony (A) typically presents with a boggy uterus. The absence of systemic instability or coagulopathy makes options D and E less likely.

Toronto Notes 2023 – Obstetrics, Postpartum Hemorrhage:

“Continued bleeding despite a firm fundus and intact placenta should raise suspicion for genital tract trauma, especially cervical or vaginal lacerations.”

MCCQE1 Objectives – Obstetrics > Postpartum Complications:

“Candidates must differentiate causes of postpartum hemorrhage and identify when bleeding is due to trauma vs uterine atony.”

====================================================

One of the strongest modifiable risk factors for postoperative delirium in older adults is exposure to anticholinergic medications (e.g., diphenhydramine, certain antidepressants). Avoiding these can reduce delirium risk.

Toronto Notes 2023 – Geriatrics, “Delirium Prevention”:

“Avoid high-risk medications including anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, and narcotics if possible. Maintain orientation cues and adequate pain control.”

MCCQE1 Objectives (Medicine > Geriatrics > 41-1: Cognitive Impairment):

“Candidates must recognize predisposing factors for delirium and apply prevention strategies, including medication review.”

Opiates (B) should be used judiciously; untreated pain can also cause delirium. Cognitive screening (C) is helpful for baseline but does not prevent delirium. Benzodiazepines (D) increase delirium risk. Family involvement is actually helpful (E).
