Sample Step 2 CK Question

OB/GYN / Management

A 32-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, at 35 weeks' gestation comes to the labor and delivery unit because of a 4-hour history of headache and visual changes described as "seeing spots." Her prenatal course has been uncomplicated until now. Blood pressure is 168/110 mm Hg on two readings taken 15 minutes apart. Pulse is 82/min. Urinalysis shows 3+ protein. Platelet count is 98,000/mm³. AST is 142 U/L. ALT is 128 U/L. The fetal heart rate tracing is category I. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?

(A)Administer betamethasone and deliver in 48 hours
(B)Administer magnesium sulfate and plan for delivery
(C)Begin IV labetalol and observe for 24 hours
(D)Obtain an MRI of the brain
(E)Start expectant management with serial blood pressure monitoring
Explanation: Preeclampsia with severe features (BP ≥160/110, thrombocytopenia, elevated transaminases, symptoms) at ≥34 weeks requires magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis and delivery. Betamethasone is not needed at ≥34 weeks. Step 2 CK asks for the management decision, not the mechanism.

How QuizMed Matches the Step 2 CK Format

Management-Focused Lead-Ins

Questions ask "most appropriate next step in management" and "most appropriate initial treatment" — not mechanisms.

Ethics & Professionalism Coverage

10–15% ethics content: informed consent, patient autonomy, mandatory reporting, medical errors, and end-of-life decisions.

Correct Discipline Weighting

Internal medicine 55–65%, pediatrics 17–27%, OB/GYN 10–20% — matching the real exam content outline.

Multi-Step Clinical Reasoning

Questions require reasoning chains: symptoms to diagnosis to confirmatory test to management decision.
