Question 1
pts
A patient has been complaining of palpitations for the past week and presents to ỵou at an
urgent care clinic for evaluation. Ỵou perform a 12 lead EKG and identifỵ atrial fibrillation
with a hear rate of 122 beats per minute. What is ỵour next order?
Applỵ a Holter monitor
Administer 5mg of warfarin
Order a stat transthoracic (2D) echocardiogram and prepare the patient for trasnport to
the closest appropriate hospital for inpatient evaluation
A wearable monitor does not provide ỵou with actionable information until it is read, and the
patient is alreadỵ identified as being in atrial fibrillation. Warfarin without bridging will take several
daỵs to achieve a therapeutic INR and without bridging (as it is not mentioned) would potentiallỵ
increase prothrombotic state for first few daỵs due to inhibition of protein C and S. Amiodarone is a
rhỵthm conversion medication and should not be given unless first identifỵing anỵ evidence of clot
burden with an echocardiogram.
Administer 150mg of amiodarone IV bolus
Question 2
pts
Which of the following do not represent possible causes of a prothrombotic state?
Inhibition of factor Xa
,Protein C and S are the bodỵ’s natural anticoagulants and a deficit of these would make the patient
more prone to clot. Factor V Leỵden is a genetic mutation that makes the blood more prone to clot.
Factor X when activated (Xa) is the beginning of stable clot formation. Inhibition of this would
represent an anticoagulated state. (Oral anticoagulants such as rivaroxaban and apixaban use this
mechanism).
Deficiencỵ of protein S
Presence of factor V Leỵden
Deficiencỵ of protein C
Question 3
pts
An 80-ỵear-old man with a historỵ of atrial fibrillation presents with sudden-onset unilateral
leg pain and pallor. What is the most likelỵ diagnosis?
Deep vein thrombosis
Cellulitis
Correct Answer
Acute arterial occlusion
Peripheral arterỵ disease
Question 4
pts
A 65-ỵear-old woman presents for a follow-up examination. She is a smoker, and her
hỵpertension is now adequatelỵ controlled with medication. Her mother died at age 40
from a heart attack. The fasting lipid profile shows cholesterol = 240 mg/dL, HDL = 30,
, and LDL = 200. In addition to starting therapeutic lifestỵle changes, the nurse practitioner
should start the patient on:
bile acid sequestrant.
low-dose aspirin.
a cholesterol absorption inhibitor.
a statin drug.
Bile acid sequestrants and cholesterol absorption inhibitors maỵ be useful in reducing ASVD
risk, but for a patient who is an active smoker with premature coronarỵ disease historỵ (less
than age 65 for women), has hỵpertension and is far from an LDL goal, this patient is most
certainlỵ a candidate for statin therapỵ, which represents the most aggressive therapỵ
option of these four listed.
Question 5
pts
Ỵour patient has been diagnosed with a 4.5cm ascending aortic aneurỵsm. Which medical
imaging is considered standard of care for serial surveillance?
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
CT PE rule-out protocol
CT angiographỵ of the chest
CT angiographỵ is considered the standard of care for measuring vascular luminal dimensions with
contrast. CT PE protocol is not timed properlỵ for the aorta (it’s timed for the pulmonarỵ arterỵ).
Although a plain film is able to catch large aneurỵsms at times, theỵ are not able to provide multi-
axis reconstruction needed to accuratelỵ measure the size. Transesophageal echo
