Increased intake of acidic foods ✅ ✅ Correct Answer: D
A. Azithromycin B. Amoxicillin-clavulanate ✅ C. Ciprofloxacin D. Doxycycline ✅ Correct Answer: B Rationale: Amoxicillin-clavulanate is the recommended first-line treatment due to rising resistance of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae to macrolides.

Diagnostic hallmark of temporal arteritis: Which of the following is most characteristic of temporal arteritis (giant cell arteritis)? A. Hypertension B. Jaw claudication ✅ C. Facial numbness D. Periorbital edema ✅ Correct Answer: B Rationale: Jaw claudication is a hallmark symptom. Temporal arteritis can cause blindness if not treated promptly with corticosteroids.

Deep vein thrombosis C. Right-sided heart failure ✅ D.

Which is the most appropriate initial antihypertensive agent? A. Beta-blocker B. ACE inhibitor C. Thiazide diuretic ✅ D. Alpha-blocker ✅ Correct Answer: C
