Sample Saber Pro Medicina Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Saber Pro Medicina exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A 48-year-old man attends consulta externa at an IPS of primer nivel. He is asymptomatic. After five minutes of seated rest, without caffeine or tobacco in the prior 30 minutes, two office readings two minutes apart average 148/94 mmHg. He has no diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or known cardiovascular disease. What is the most accurate impresión diagnóstica from this anamnesis and examination?

A.Hypertensive emergency requiring immediate intravenous antihypertensives

B.White-coat effect that can be ignored without any follow-up measurement

C.Office blood pressure in the grade 1 range, requiring confirmation outside the office or on another visit

D.Isolated diastolic hypotension that does not meet hypertension thresholds

Explanation: Colombian intersociety guidance classifies 140–159/90–99 mmHg as the grade 1 office range, but an asymptomatic first encounter should lead to confirmation with repeated visits or out-of-office MAPA/AMPA rather than a definitive diagnosis from two readings at one visit. He has no acute target-organ symptoms, so this is not a hypertensive emergency.

2A 22-year-old woman from Barranquilla had three days of high fever, retro-orbital headache, myalgias, and a macular rash. Today the fever has fallen, but she has intense continuous abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, and postural dizziness. Mucosal bleeding is absent. What is the most accurate impresión diagnóstica?

A.Dengue with signos de alarma (grupo B)

B.Dengue without warning signs that can finish recovery at home

C.Bacterial food poisoning as the only plausible cause of abdominal pain

D.Uncomplicated chikungunya because joint pain was mentioned on day 1

Explanation: INS dengue surveillance (2024) and WHO/PAHO 2009 classification treat intense continuous abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, postural hypotension, and defervescence with worsening as signos de alarma. That defines dengue with warning signs (grupo B), not grupo A. Médico general recognition of this shift is the core impresión diagnóstica.

3A 41-year-old man who works in construction in Bucaramanga reports cough with sputum for 4 weeks, night sweats, and undocumented weight loss. He has no known HIV. Examination shows a thin man with crackles in the right upper lobe. What is the most coherent impresión diagnóstica to pursue as médico general?

A.Acute viral bronchitis that should resolve without microbiologic tests

B.Presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis in a sintomático respiratorio

C.Community-acquired pneumonia limited to a 3-day productive cough

D.Occupational asthma because he works with dust and has no fever today

Explanation: Minsalud Programa Nacional de Tuberculosis (Resolución 227 de 2020) defines a respiratory symptomatic as prolonged cough plus systemic clues such as night sweats and weight loss. Upper-lobe findings further support presumptive pulmonary TB, which the médico general must not label as self-limited bronchitis.

4A 55-year-old woman describes 6 weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, and blurred vision. She is not pregnant. A random venous plasma glucose in consulta is 256 mg/dL with classic osmotic symptoms. What is the most accurate impresión diagnóstica?

A.Isolated stress hyperglycemia that cannot represent diabetes

B.Diabetes insipidus because thirst is prominent

C.Impaired fasting glucose only, without diabetes

D.Symptomatic diabetes mellitus, most often type 2 in this age group

Explanation: Minsalud guidance on type 2 diabetes and WHO/ADA criteria treat classic hyperglycemia symptoms plus a random plasma glucose >=200 mg/dL as diagnostic of diabetes. In a middle-aged adult this is usually type 2 pending classification. It is not 'prediabetes.'

5A previously normotensive 26-year-old primigravida at 32 weeks of control prenatal has blood pressure 152/98 mmHg on two readings several hours apart. Dipstick shows 2+ protein. She has no headache, visual scotomas, epigastric pain, or clonus. What is the best impresión diagnóstica?

A.Preeclampsia without criterios de severidad

B.Chronic hypertension diagnosed before 20 weeks

C.Eclampsia because proteinuria is present

D.Transient white-coat hypertension of no obstetric concern

Explanation: The 2022 FECOLSOG/Minsalud-aligned GPC on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy defines preeclampsia without severe features as new hypertension after 20 weeks (140-159/90-109 mmHg) plus proteinuria (>=300 mg/24 h or ++ dipstick) without severe symptoms or laboratory crisis. Eclampsia requires seizures.

6A 7-week-old infant is brought to a hospital local. The mother says the baby has felt hot, has not fed for 8 hours, and is difficult to wake. The infant is lethargic, hypotonic, and does not suck. There is no rash. Using AIEPI clinical logic, what is the most accurate classification?

A.Simple viral exanthem without danger signs

B.Uncomplicated teething that explains poor feeding

C.Possible serious bacterial infection with AIEPI general danger signs

D.Isolated colic because the abdomen is soft

Explanation: AIEPI (Minsalud/PAHO) treats lethargy, inability to feed, and a young febrile infant as general danger signs and possible serious bacterial infection. Médico general classification must prioritize this over benign labels. Age under 2 months plus not feeding is never 'observation only' without urgent workup and referral capacity.

7A 29-year-old non-pregnant woman has 2 days of dysuria, urinary frequency, and suprapubic discomfort. She is afebrile, has no flank pain or vomiting, and the abdomen is soft without costo-vertebral angle tenderness. What is the most likely impresión diagnóstica?

A.Acute pyelonephritis

B.Uncomplicated acute cystitis

C.Nephrolithiasis with obstruction

D.Pelvic inflammatory disease

Explanation: Lower urinary symptoms without fever or costo-vertebral tenderness in an otherwise healthy non-pregnant woman are the classic picture of uncomplicated cystitis. Pyelonephritis requires systemic or upper-tract signs. This is everyday médico general practice.

8A 67-year-old man has 3 days of fever, productive cough, and right pleuritic pain. Respiratory rate is 26/min, temperature 38.7 C, and there are focal crackles at the right base. He is oriented and blood pressure is 128/78 mmHg. What is the most accurate impresión diagnóstica?

A.Community-acquired pneumonia

B.Acute decompensated heart failure as the only explanation

C.Pulmonary tuberculosis of 3 days' duration

D.Uncomplicated acute bronchitis without alveolar infection

Explanation: Acute fever, productive cough, pleuritic pain, and focal crackles define a clinical diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (neumonía adquirida en la comunidad) for the médico general. Colombian Infectio GPC still uses this bedside impression before imaging confirms infiltrate.

9A 58-year-old man with tobacco use and hypertension arrives at urgencias of a hospital local with 40 minutes of crushing retrosternal pain radiating to the left arm, diaphoresis, and nausea. The pain is not reproduced by chest wall palpation. What is the leading impresión diagnóstica?

A.Musculoskeletal chest wall pain

B.Acute pericarditis as first hypothesis

C.Uncomplicated gastroesophageal reflux

D.Acute coronary syndrome until proven otherwise

Explanation: Pressure-like retrosternal pain with radiation, diaphoresis, and nausea in a man with atherosclerotic risk is the classic ACS anamnesis. Colombian first-level literature emphasizes that the médico general must treat this as SCA until ECG and transfer decisions are made. Palpation-negative pain argues against a chest-wall primary diagnosis.

10A 46-year-old woman reports 8 months of fatigue, weight gain, constipation, cold intolerance, and dry skin. Examination shows bradycardia, delayed ankle jerks, and a firm goiter. What is the most likely impresión diagnóstica?

A.Cushing syndrome as the first-line clinical label

B.Primary hypothyroidism

C.Addison disease

D.Simple obesity without endocrine disease

Explanation: The symptom cluster of fatigue, weight gain, constipation, cold intolerance, bradycardia, delayed reflexes, and goiter is the classic picture of primary hypothyroidism. Colombian endocrinology consensus still starts from this clinical impression before TSH/free T4 confirm it.

About the Saber Pro Medicina Exam

The ICFES module Fundamentación en Diagnóstico y Tratamiento Médico is the Saber Pro specific-competency module unique to SNIES NBC Medicina. It is part of the Examen de Estado de la Calidad de la Educación Superior under Ley 1324 de 2009, not a professional-licensure exam, not ASCOFAME’s Premio al Mejor Interno, and not a single exam named “Saber Pro Medicina.” ICFES’s 2026-2 combinatoria table assigns combinatoria 5 as this module plus Atención en Salud plus Promoción de la Salud y Prevención de la Enfermedad; combinatoria 0 is generics only. The 2026-2 guide specifies 70 Spanish single-answer multiple-choice items. Tabla 3 weights diagnosis at 58% (impresión diagnóstica from anamnesis and exam; indications and interpretation of diagnostic procedures and paraclínicos) and treatment planning at 42% (pharmacological and non-pharmacological conduct) on cases of común ocurrencia in médico general practice, covering children, youth, and adults. This free bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of the official afirmaciones — not an official ICFES translation, not a Spanish-booklet simulation, and not a substitute for Atención en Salud, Promoción de la Salud, the generic sitting, or clinical practice.

Saber Pro Medicina Study Tips from Top Performers

1Follow the published 58%/42% split: more time on diagnosis (history, exam, paraclínicos) than on treatment selection.

2ICFES items are common médico general cases, not subspecialty rarities. Prefer the next safe generalist step.

3Keep pharmacological and non-pharmacological plans distinct — evidencia 2.1 and 2.2 are scored separately.

4Do not skip red-flag referral: an acute abdomen or suspected ACS is not managed only with oral analgesia in a consultorio.

5These MCQs are an English study aid. Practise also with ICFES's Spanish cuadernillos so the official language and stem style are not a surprise.
