Past medical history is significant for rheumatoid arthritis, diagnosed 3 months ago and managed with celecoxib and methotrexate, and occasional gastric reflux, managed with omeprazole. His vitals are a pulse of 80min, a respiratory rate of 16min, and blood pressure of 12280 mm Hg. On physical examination, the left wrist is swollen, stiff, and warm to touch, and the right wrist is red and warm. There is limited active and passive range of motion at the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints of both hands. The remainder of the examination is unremarkable. A plain radiograph of the hands shows progressive degeneration of multiple joints. Another drug, etanercept, is added to help control progressive arthritis. Which of the following diagnostic tests should be ordered before starting this new medication in this patient?? A: Tuberculosis screening, B: Antinuclear antibody ANA level, C: Endoscopy, D: Bleeding time, E: Malignancy screening,  <response>: This is a patient with worsening rheumatoid arthritis who is being started on a new medication, etanercept. The question is asking which diagnostic test should be ordered before starting this medication. Etanercept is a TNF-alpha inhibitor, which can increase the risk of infections like tuberculosis, as well as reactivate latent infections. Therefore, tuberculosis screening would be prudent before starting this medication. ANA levels test for autoimmune diseases and are not relevant in this case of known rheumatoid arthritis. Endoscopy and bleeding time are not routinely indicated. Malignancy screening is not specifically warranted in this scenario.A: Tuberculosis screening
