After initial stabilization and assessment, what is the most appropriate management step? A. Urgent stress-dose corticosteroid in adrenal crisis B. Evidence-based osteoporosis risk reduction C. Antithyroid therapy with risk stratification D. Individualized glucose-lowering plan E.

Relevant risk context includes long-term steroid exposure. What is the most likely diagnosis? A. Primary adrenal insufficiency B. Primary hypothyroidism C. Cushing syndrome D. Type 2 diabetes mellitus E. Primary hyperparathyroidism Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: E Explanation: The pattern of renal stones with hypercalcemia with risk factors such as long-term steroid exposure is most consistent with Primary hyperparathyroidism.
