USMLE two-step (also called double-jump) questions<\/a> require several cognitive steps to arrive at a correct answer. Finding the correct answer requires you to formulate a proper diagnosis and then select the most appropriate pharmacologic treatment. Note that you get no credit for the intermediate step of diagnosis. The correct answer is found only by reasoning all the way through to the treatment.
