Chamberlain
This NR 509 Final Exam, utilizing Bates' Interactive
Question Bank, is a comprehensive, multi-question
examination (100+ questions) focused on advanced physical
assessment, clinical reasoning, and differential diagnosis for
nurse practitioner students. It covers adult, pediatric, and
geriatric health assessment techniques.
Exam Description and Content Focus:
Case-Based Scenarios: Questions typically involve patient
scenarios requiring evaluation of symptoms (e.g., back pain,
rash), physical examination techniques, and diagnostic
reasoning.
Assessment Areas: Covers abdominal exams, lung changes,
skin assessment, neurological checks, and mental status exams.
Pediatric and Adult Focus: Includes developmental
milestones (e.g., 12-month-old, 4-year-old) and pediatric growth
charts.
Clinical Reasoning: Questions often ask for the most likely
diagnosis based on findings (e.g., jaundice, hepatitis, or joint
pain).
1
, Bates Content: Aligns with Bates' Guide to Physical
Examination, focusing on accurate technique and interpretation
of findings.
Quiz_________________?
A 44-year-old female mathematician presents to clinic with a complaint of a mass
in the right breast. Her partner noticed this mass 2 days ago, and the patient feels
guilty because she has only had one mammogram and does not engage in breast
self-examination (BSE) on any regular basis. She has no family history of breast
cancer, and her prior mammogram was ordered as a routine screening test at age
43 years after a brief discussion with her primary care provider. After a thorough
investigation reveals a benign cyst, what advice should be given to this patient
about screening for breast cancer in her age group?
a. BSE is well evidenced, and all recommending agencies agree that it should be
taught and reinforced.
b. Clinical breast examination (CBE) is superior to BSE and should be a routine
part of annual examinations starting at age 30 years.
c. This patient was in compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task F -
Answer
c. This patient was in compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
(USPSTF) recommendations for her age group and risk factors prior to her
current complaint.

A 42-year-old female website developer presents for an annual preventive
examination with questions about breast cancer screening. She is concerned
about the radiation exposure associated with mammography and is interested in
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a possible alternative for routine screening.
2
, She is otherwise healthy with no family history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer.
Which of the following is true about MRI as a screening modality for breast
cancer in the general population?
a. Breast cancer screening by MRI has been well studied in the general population.
b. Sensitivity of screening for breast cancer increases with breast MRI at the
expense of specificity.
c. This patient is an ideal candidate for screening via breast MRI based on current
evidence.
d. Women at low lifetime risk of breast cancer (<20%) are recommended to
undergo screening MRI.
e. Known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation is insufficient c -
Answer
b. Sensitivity of screening for breast cancer increases with breast MRI at the
expense of specificity.

A 35-year-old G0P0 woman presents to clinic with a complaint of bilateral nipple
discharge. This discharge started several weeks ago and has occurred at irregular
intervals since that time. She does not complain of local tenderness, redness,
fever, or any other systemic symptoms aside from slightly irregular periods over
the last few months. On examination, she is able to express a small amount of
discharge, which is sent to the laboratory and found to be consistent with breast
milk but without any signs of blood or pus. Screening laboratories are also sent,
which reveal a normal blood count, metabolic panel, thyroid-stimulating hormone,
and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level. Further laboratories are still
pending. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
a. Mastitis
3
, b. Ductal carcinoma in situ
c. Paget disease of the breast
d. Occult pregnancy
e. Prolactinoma -
Answer
e. Prolactinoma
Quiz_________________?
A 22-year-old G0P0 undergraduate student presents to clinic after finding a breast
mass on breast self-examination (BSE) at home. The mass is nontender without
skin changes, erythema, or overlying swelling. She has heard that most breast
cancers are found by patients themselves, and she is very concerned that she may
have breast cancer. Which of the following is true about BSE and self-detection of
breast cancer?
a. Most masses that women find at home and bring to a provider's attention turn
out to be malignant.
b. This patient is more likely to find a fibroadenoma than a cancer on self-
examination.
c. The most likely breast mass this patient is likely to find in herself is an abscess
complicating underlying mastitis.
d. Because of this patient's age, breast masses should not be pursued with imaging
and diagnosis because the risk of cancer is so low.
e. BSE is universally recommended because of very high sensitivity -
Answer
b. This patient is more likely to find a fibroadenoma than a cancer on self-
examination.
