, B) Surgeries
C) Obstetrics/gynecology
D) Psychiatric
Ans: B
Feedback:

anatomic region would you assign the symptom?
A) Reproductive

Cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure are the most likely on this list to result
in shortness of breath. There are cases within the other categories which may also result
in shortness of breath, such as anemia in the hematologic category, pregnancy in the
reproductive category, or sepsis with UTI in the urinary category. This demonstrates the
“tension” in clinical reasoning between making sure all possibilities are covered, while
still being able to pick the most likely cause.
