Sample Mixed / Miscellaneous Topics MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
A 6-year-old child ingest the iron- containing supplements. What immediate treatment is necessary? Correction of acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities and
AActivated charcoal
BOral deferasirox
CParenteral deferoxamine
DParenteral dantrolene
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Parenteral deferoxamine
Activated charcoal does not bind iron and thus is ineffective. Oral deferasirox is effective for chronic iron toxicity. Dantrolene inhibits Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and is an antidote for malignant hyperthermia induced by inhaled anaesthetics.

BHyperthermia, delirium, and coma
CNecrotizing gastroenteritis, shock, and metabolic acidosis
DSevere hepatic injury, encephalitis, and coma
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Necrotizing gastroenteritis, shock, and metabolic acidosis
Acute iron poisoning often causes severe gastrointestinal damage resulting from direct corrosive effects, shock from fluid loss in the gastrointestinal tract, and metabolic acidosis from cellular dysfunction.
