Q1 · Delirium Tremens
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Delirium tremens is the most severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome, occurring around 48 to 72 hours after the last drink, with confusion, agitation, hallucinations, tremor, and autonomic instability. It can be fatal and is treated with benzodiazepines and supportive care.
Q2 · Wernicke Encephalopathy
NEET PGHardExplanation
Wernicke encephalopathy, from thiamine (B1) deficiency, presents with the triad of confusion, ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia. It is a medical emergency treated with urgent thiamine; untreated, it can progress to irreversible Korsakoff psychosis.
Q3 · Alcohol Withdrawal Management
MediumExplanation
Benzodiazepines such as chlordiazepoxide or diazepam are first-line for alcohol withdrawal, preventing seizures and delirium tremens through cross-tolerance with alcohol at the GABA receptor. Thiamine is given to prevent Wernicke encephalopathy.
Q4 · Opioid Overdose
MediumExplanation
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose, with its respiratory depression, pinpoint pupils, and reduced consciousness. Flumazenil, by contrast, reverses benzodiazepine overdose. Naltrexone is used in longer-term relapse prevention.
Q5 · Opioid Withdrawal
EasyExplanation
Opioid withdrawal causes dilated pupils, yawning, lacrimation, rhinorrhoea, sweating, piloerection, abdominal cramps, and diarrhoea — distressing but rarely life-threatening. Overdose, in contrast, causes pinpoint pupils and respiratory depression.
Q6 · Disulfiram
HardExplanation
Disulfiram inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase, so drinking alcohol causes acetaldehyde accumulation and an unpleasant reaction with flushing, nausea, and palpitations, acting as a deterrent. It is used as an adjunct in motivated patients under supervision.
Substance Use sits within Psychiatry, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Substance Use marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Psychiatry examiners keep returning to.
