Question 1
In a 47-year-old man, erectile dysfunction is more commonly caused by
___________ rather than low testosterone.
A. Endocrine dysfunction
B. Psychologic factors
C. Neurologic disease
D. Vascular insufficiency
Correct Answer: B. Psychologic factors
Expert Rationale
Erectile dysfunction in middle-aged men is commonly due to psychogenic causes
rather than low testosterone levels. The presence of early morning erections
supports a psychologic etiology rather than a physiologic cause. Options A, C, and
D may contribute to erectile dysfunction but are less likely when normal
spontaneous erections are preserved.
DIF: Application
REF: Male Reproductive Health / Erectile Dysfunction
,OBJ: Identify causes of erectile dysfunction
TOP: Assessment / Nursing Process Step: Analysis
Question 2
During a breast examination, an abnormal breast mass is most likely to:
A. Move freely within the breast tissue
B. Become softer when the patient raises her arms
C. Cause dimpling or retraction of the skin when arms are lifted
D. Disappear with changes in position
Correct Answer: C. Cause dimpling or retraction of the skin when arms are lifted
Expert Rationale
Malignant breast masses are often fixed to the skin or underlying tissues, leading
to dimpling or retraction when the arms are raised or pressed against the hips.
Options A describes benign masses such as fibroadenomas or cysts, which are
typically mobile. Options B and D are not characteristic findings of malignant
breast lesions.
DIF: Application
REF: Breast Assessment
OBJ: Recognize signs of breast malignancy
TOP: Assessment / Nursing Process Step: Evaluation
Question 3
Fibroadenomas and breast cysts are typically described as:
A. Fixed and irregular
B. Hard and immobile
C. Tender and inflamed
D. Mobile and well-defined
Correct Answer: D. Mobile and well-defined
Expert Rationale
Fibroadenomas and cysts are benign breast masses that are typically mobile, well-
defined, and smooth. Malignant masses, in contrast, are more likely to be fixed,
,irregular, and hard. Options A and B describe characteristics more consistent with
malignancy, while Option C is not a defining feature of these benign conditions.
DIF: Knowledge
REF: Breast Disorders
OBJ: Differentiate benign vs malignant breast masses
TOP: Assessment / Nursing Process Step: Analysis
Question 4
A high proportion of breast masses are first detected during:
A. Clinical breast examination
B. Mammography screening
C. Breast self-examination
D. Ultrasound imaging
Correct Answer: C. Breast self-examination
Expert Rationale
Many breast masses are initially detected by patients during breast self-
examination (BSE), emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and routine
self-assessment. While Options A, B, and D are important diagnostic tools, they
are not the most common initial method of detection.
DIF: Knowledge
REF: Breast Health Screening
OBJ: Identify methods of early detection of breast masses
TOP: Health Promotion / Nursing Process Step: Implementation
Question 5
Acute pancreatitis most commonly presents with pain in which location?
A. Right lower quadrant
B. Left lower quadrant
C. Epigastric region radiating to the back
D. Periumbilical region
, Correct Answer: C. Epigastric region radiating to the back
Expert Rationale
Acute pancreatitis typically presents with severe epigastric pain that radiates to
the back due to inflammation of the pancreas. Options A, B, and D are not
characteristic locations for pancreatitis pain and suggest other abdominal
conditions.
DIF: Application
REF: Gastrointestinal Disorders / Pancreatitis
OBJ: Identify clinical manifestations of pancreatitis
TOP: Assessment / Nursing Process Step: Analysis
Question 6
Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted through which route?
A. Bloodborne transmission
B. Airborne droplets
C. Fecal-oral route
D. Sexual contact only
Correct Answer: C. Fecal-oral route
Expert Rationale
Hepatitis A is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, often through contaminated
food or water due to poor hand hygiene. Options A and B are incorrect
transmission routes, while Option D is incomplete, as transmission is not limited
to sexual contact.
DIF: Knowledge
REF: Infectious Diseases / Hepatitis A
OBJ: Identify transmission routes of hepatitis A
