💡 EXPLANATION:
In an elderly catheterized patient, fever with delirium strongly suggests urinary tract infection progressing to urosepsis. This corresponds to the water category in postoperative fever causes.

What is the primary mechanism of action of spironolactone?
💡 EXPLANATION:
Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic that competitively antagonizes aldosterone receptors in the distal nephron, reducing sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion.

A 55M with resistant hypertension, carotid bruits, and peripheral artery disease has hypokalemia and elevated plasma renin activity. These findings are most consistent with which condition?
💡 EXPLANATION:
Widespread atherosclerosis with resistant hypertension and high renin levels suggests renal artery stenosis causing renovascular hypertension. Primary aldosteronism typically suppresses renin.

A stable 30-year-old woman with pain and bleeding at 8 weeks amenorrhea has ultrasound evidence of a right adnexal mass and no intrauterine pregnancy. Beta hCG is 1200. What is the most appropriate management?
💡 EXPLANATION:
This is a confirmed ectopic pregnancy meeting criteria for medical management with methotrexate due to hemodynamic stability, low beta hCG level, and small adnexal mass.

A patient with an inferior STEMI develops hypotension after nitrates with clear lung fields. What is the most likely cause?
💡 EXPLANATION:
Inferior STEMI may involve the right ventricle. Nitrates reduce preload and can precipitate hypotension in right ventricular infarction. Clear lungs argue against left ventricular failure.
