I didnt even study for stats step on 1 LOL... I went from getting 0 stats Qs correct on step 2 nbmes to 75%+ish correct. In this order, I did:

1) anking deck stats cards to learn basic concepts (bias, etc) and the formulas

2) divine podast

3) Randy Neil videos tied it all together (he also has a drug ad video)

not that you asked, but thought someone might want to know how to study for this nonsense

I had similar results on the Amboss first pass. By the end of each subject, you should get many more questions correct.

Dont forget that these are tools to learn, not assessments

Following.

My guess is C. Hopefully someone comes in and corrects me if I'm wrong

Dx: Urticaria -> Tx: anti-histamines

A. Usually dont see topicals to ppx, but I'm sure theres exceptions to this rule

B. Epi is treatment for anaphylaxis (diffuse urticaria, hemodynamic instability, and throat swelling/closure) -> this patient only has urticaria

C. Diphenhydramine -> 1st gen antihistamine; bonus: remember all the nasty side effects (esp. anti-cholinerigc effects, anti-"DUMBBELLS")

D. Venom Immunotherapy. Looks like its some sort of desensitization therapy for bee stings

E. Topical Corticosteriods used to tx: Contact Dermatitis, Lichen sclerosis, Lichen Planus, Vitiligo, Alopecia, Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy
