1A 58-year-old male presents to the outpatient clinic with retrosternal crushing chest pain radiating to his left shoulder and jaw that began 45 minutes ago during physical exertion. An emergency 12-lead ECG reveals 2.5 mm ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF with reciprocal ST depression in leads I and aVL. Which coronary artery is most likely occluded?
2A 62-year-old female with a 10-year history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus presents with worsening exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and bilateral lower extremity pitting edema. Physical examination demonstrates an elevated jugular venous pressure (8 cm H2O) and a third heart sound (S3 gallop). Echocardiography reveals a left ventricular ejection fraction of 32%. Which initial pharmacologic regimen provides proven mortality benefit in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)?
3A 45-year-old male with persistent essential hypertension on amlodipine 10 mg daily presents for a follow-up. Blood pressure remains elevated at 154/96 mmHg. Laboratory testing shows serum potassium of 3.1 mmol/L (reference: 3.5–5.0 mmol/L) with no history of diuretic therapy. Plasma aldosterone concentration is elevated, and plasma renin activity is suppressed, resulting in an aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) of 42. What is the most appropriate next diagnostic step?
4A 34-year-old female presents with palpitations, unintended weight loss of 6 kg over two months, heat intolerance, and frequent loose stools. Physical examination reveals fine resting hand tremors, a smooth, diffusely enlarged, non-tender thyroid gland with an audible systolic bruit, and mild bilateral proptosis. Serum TSH is <0.01 mIU/L and free T4 is 48 pmol/L (reference: 11.5–22.7 pmol/L). Which antibody is the primary pathogenic driver of this condition?
5A 52-year-old male with a 30-pack-year smoking history presents with a 4-day history of high fever, rigors, right-sided pleuritic chest pain, and productive cough with rust-colored sputum. Auscultation reveals bronchial breath sounds and inspiratory crackles over the right lower lung field, with dullness to percussion. Chest radiography shows dense lobar consolidation in the right lower lobe. What is the most likely causative pathogen?
6A 68-year-old male with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, GOLD stage IV) is admitted with an acute exacerbation. Arterial blood gas (ABG) on room air shows: pH 7.28, PaCO2 62 mmHg, PaO2 52 mmHg, and HCO3- 29 mmol/L. The patient is alert, responsive, and hemodynamically stable, but shows marked tachypnea (respiratory rate 28/min) and accessory muscle use. What is the most appropriate next step in ventilatory support?
7A 26-year-old female presents to the emergency department with a 12-hour history of periumbilical pain that has now shifted and localized to the right lower quadrant. She reports nausea, one episode of non-bilious vomiting, and anorexia. Vital signs: temperature 38.1°C, pulse 96 bpm, BP 118/74 mmHg. Abdominal examination shows tenderness at McBurney's point with guarding, positive Rovsing's sign, and positive psoas sign. Laboratory evaluation reveals a leukocyte count of 14,200/mcL with 82% neutrophils. What is the most likely diagnosis?
8A 48-year-old obese female presents with severe, sharp right upper quadrant abdominal pain that radiates to her right shoulder and scapula, starting 1 hour after eating a fatty meal. She has had several similar milder episodes over the past 6 months. Physical examination demonstrates marked tenderness in the right subcostal margin, where deep inspiration causes sudden arrest of breathing due to severe pain. Vital signs: temperature 38.4°C, HR 102 bpm. What is the physical examination sign described, and which condition does it classically indicate?
9A 55-year-old male with a history of long-standing duodenal ulcer disease suddenly experiences excruciating, generalized abdominal pain that began 2 hours ago. On physical examination, the patient lies completely still with shallow respirations. The entire abdomen is rigid and board-like, with diffuse rebound tenderness. Bowel sounds are absent. An upright chest radiograph demonstrates a thin crescent of free air beneath the right hemidiaphragm (pneumoperitoneum). What is the mandatory immediate management?
10A 70-year-old male presents with a 3-day history of obstipation, progressive abdominal distension, and colicky lower abdominal pain. He has had no previous abdominal surgeries. Physical examination reveals a tensely distended, tympanitic abdomen with high-pitched 'tinkling' bowel sounds. Plain abdominal radiography demonstrates a massive, dilated loop of large bowel without haustra, originating from the left lower quadrant and projecting towards the right upper quadrant, resembling a 'coffee bean' sign.

It is a computer-based test on the hr.hdc.gov.mn system. Each candidate receives items drawn at random from the Health Development Center bank; HDC materials describe 100 items in 100 minutes.
