NSG6001 STUDY GUIDE 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔You receive a report back on the suspected abdominal aortic aneurysm for your
patient. It confirms your suspicion of AAA. The report describes the aneurysm as a
symmetric weakness of the entire circumference of the aorta. You know that this form of
aneurysm is referred to as what kind of aneurysm? - ✔✔fusiform aneurysm
✔✔Your practice partner just ordered an exercise echocardiography 2DE for a patient
with suspected cardiovascular risk. This patient has known resting wall motion
abnormalities. Why would this not be the best test to assess this patient's cardiac risk? -
✔✔sensitivity is decreased
✔✔We all know that collaboration is integral to becoming a successful nurse
practitioner. Among collaborations, however, only one can be considered as the most
important. While each example below is important, which is the most important
collaboration? The one that occurs: - ✔✔between the patient and the nurse practitioner
✔✔The sensitivity of a routine ETT is effort dependent. What physiological changes
occur during effort in the routine ETT? - ✔✔increased coronary flow and increased
systolic blood pressure
✔✔A 47-year old female with general complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath
shows up in your clinic as a referral from another nurse practitioner. Several blood tests
and chest x-rays have been completed without any diagnosis or outstanding
abnormalities. You decide to order an ETT despite the fact that the recent ECG does
not show any abnormalities. From the answers below, which would be the best answer
to support your decision? - ✔✔CAD in women is under diagnosed
✔✔Your patient underwent an exercise stress test for CAD. There is significant
elevation of the ST-segment. What do you need to know about these changes to
manage your patient's care? - ✔✔these changes have minimal predictive value for CAD
✔✔When there is a consequential loss of structural integrity of the abdominal aorta, the
resulting issue is what condition? - ✔✔abdominal aortic aneurysm
✔✔You see a 60-year old African American male in your clinic with a recent diagnosis
of hypertension. He asks you what he should restrict in his diet, and is particularly
interested in limiting his sodium intake. What amount of sodium intake would you
recommend on a daily basis for this patient? - ✔✔1.5 g/day
✔✔Why would inability to exercise reduce the specificity of the routine ETT? -
✔✔produces persistent ST-segmental changes and T-wave abnormalities
