Which of the following statements about migraine
headache is most accurate?
The pain is described as pulsating.
Migraines are more common in men than women.
Migraine with aura is more common than without aura.
The pain is typically bilateral. - Answer-The pain is
described as pulsating.
The pain is described as pulsating. Migraine headache is
one of the three most common primary headache
syndromes, and may occur with or without aura; migraine
without aura is the more common type. Migraine is most
common in women of childbearing age. The pain is
typically described as unilateral and pulsating.
Risk factors for urinary tract infection in a 62-year-old
woman can include each of the following except:
,2|Page
Uterine prolapse.
Renal stones.
Diabetes mellitus.
Well-controlled hypertension. - Answer-Well-controlled
hypertension.
Well-controlled hypertension. UTIs occur more frequently
in women than men and the frequency increases with age.
UTI rates are higher in postmenopausal women due to
decreased estrogen that can impact the vaginal flora, as
well as the presence of uterine prolapse that can cause
incomplete bladder emptying. Comorbid chronic medical
conditions, such as diabetes, can also increase UTI risk.
The presence of renal or kidney stones can also increase
risk of infection. Well-controlled hypertension is not a
substantial risk factor for UTI.
A 27-year-old woman presents complaining of pain on her
upper thighs related to spilled hot coffee on her lap.
Physical examination reveals a burn site that is red, dry
and blanches briefly with pressure but without blisters. The
NP categorizes this burn as:
,3|Page
First degree.
Second degree.
Third degree.
Fourth degree. - Answer-First degree.
First degree. A first degree burn is a superficial burn that
affects only the epidermis. The appearance of first degree
burns is a burn site that is red, painful, dry, and without
blisters. A second degree burn can involve the upper
layers of papillary dermis (superficial partial thickness) or
deeper layers of the dermis (deep partial thickness).
These burns appear red, blistered, and can be swollen. A
third degree burn can involve the dermis and underlying
fat and can appear white or charred.
You see a 58-year-old man with a history of poorly-
controlled hypertension. At this visit his blood pressure is
185/110 mm Hg but does not report any symptoms.
Auscultation will likely reveal:
S3 heart sound heard during early diastole
S3 heart sound heard during late diastole
S4 heart sound heard during early diastole

S4 heart sound heard during late diastole - Answer-S4
heart sound heard during late diastole
S4 heart sound heard during late diastole. The S4 sound
is the sound heard when a stiff, non-compliant ventricular
wall is being subjected to a sudden increase in pressure
that occurs during atrial contraction. At the end of diastole,
the atria contracts, ejecting its final contents into the
ventricle just before the mitral valve closes. A stiff, non-
compliant ventricle vibrates in response to this pressure
and creates the end-diastolic sound known as an S4. The
S4 sound is a marker of poor diastolic function and is most
often found in poorly-controlled hypertension or recurrent
myocardial ischemia. The S4 heart sound that results from
poor hypertension control usually resolves once the blood
pressure has been well controlled for a few weeks.
Which of the following is not an expected finding for a
patient with Meniere's disease?
A positive Romberg test
An abnormal Rinne test
Lateralization during the Weber test
Hearing loss - Answer-An abnormal Rinne test
