  1. What is the treatment of choice for uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis?

    Answer: Topical azole antifungals (e.g., clotrimazole) or single-dose oral fluconazole

    Uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis is effectively treated with topical azole antifungals applied intravaginally or a single oral dose of fluconazole 150 mg.

  2. A perimenopausal woman reports hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. Which first-line non-hormonal intervention can reduce vasomotor symptoms?

    Answer: Low-dose SSRI/SNRI (e.g., paroxetine, venlafaxine)

    Low-dose SSRIs and SNRIs, particularly paroxetine (FDA-approved for hot flashes) and venlafaxine, are the most effective non-hormonal pharmacological options for vasomotor symptoms.

  3. Which sexually transmitted infection is the most common reportable infectious disease in the United States?

    Answer: Chlamydia

    Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the most frequently reported notifiable STI in the US, with over 1.6 million cases annually, affecting primarily young women.

  4. A pregnant patient is found to have group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization at 36 weeks. What is the standard management?

    Answer: Administer IV penicillin G during labor

    GBS colonization during pregnancy is managed with intrapartum IV penicillin G to prevent neonatal GBS sepsis, not antenatal antibiotic treatment.

  5. Which condition is characterized by heavy, irregular menstrual bleeding due to absence of ovulation with no structural pathology?

    Answer: Anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding

    Anovulatory DUB results from unopposed estrogen stimulation without progesterone, causing irregular proliferation and unpredictable shedding of the endometrium.

  6. A woman in her third trimester is diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Which dietary change is the cornerstone of initial management?

    Answer: Carbohydrate-controlled diet with consistent meal spacing

    Medical nutrition therapy with a carbohydrate-controlled diet distributed evenly across meals is the first-line treatment for gestational diabetes, aiming for euglycemia without ketosis.
