  • USIT Exam Answer
    American Board of Family Medicine 2018 IN-TRAINING EXAMINATION CRITIQUE BOOK This book contains the answers to each question in the In-Training Examination, as well as a critique that provides a rationale for the correct answer. Bibliographic references are included at the end of each critique to facilitate any further study you may wish to do in a particular area. Copyright© 2018 The American Board of Family Medicine, Inc. All rights reserved. Item 1 ANSWER: E A urine test for Legionella pneumophila antigen is the preferred method to confirm Legionnaires’ disease. This test is rapid and will only detect Legionella pneumophila antigen. A sputum culture is the gold standard for the diagnosis of Legionnaires’ disease but it requires 48–72 hours. A chest radiograph does not confirm the diagnosis but may show the extent of disease. Responding to antibiotic treatment does not confirm a specific diagnosis.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017. Item 2 ANSWER: C Risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants include a breech presentation in the third trimester, regardless of whether the delivery was cesarean or vaginal. Other indications to evaluate an infant for this condition include a positive family history, a history of previous clinical instability, parental concern, a history of improper swaddling, and a suspicious or inconclusive physical examination.
