if the chest x-ray is normal-prophylaxis.
if the chest x-ray is abnormal then do three consecutive sputum specimens. if positive then give 4 drug TB therapy. if negative, give INH prophylaxis.

PSA is the wrong answer
Understand how to answer a question in 45 seconds.
1. PSA is not specific or sensitive or diagnostic
2. Pt. is over 60 years old
3. hard rock solid mass
4. prostate cancer is very prevalent and pts do DIE !!
So what is the answer !!
What do you do with a high PSA ?
What do you do with a low PSA ?
What they really want to ask you is PSA is actually called prostate non-specific antigens?
Please remember the rules of engagement in examination.
It is a real war out there to score 100% perfect score and you got to understand what's going on?
Understand means real understanding of the sensitivity and specificity of PSa and what yoy do with PSA. Read and study Kaplan !
