AGACNP UPDATED PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2026
1.
Which condition is characterized by blood passing through the lungs without participating in gas
exchange, often leading to decreased oxygenation and can be caused by the collapse or closure
of a part of the lung?
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Pulmonary Shunting
• Atelectasis
• Addison's Disease
2.
__________ is defined as the collapse or closure of the lung, resulting in reduced or absent gas
exchange.
3.
Why is elevating the head of the bed a national mandate for ventilator treatment?
• To promote patient comfort during ventilation
• To improve oxygenation and reduce the risk of aspiration
• To decrease the need for sedation in ventilated patients
• To prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia
4.
ST Elevation in II, III, aVF along with reciprocal changes in I and aVL on an electrocardiogram
most likely indicates:
• Anterior wall myocardial infarction
• Inferior wall myocardial infarction
• Lateral wall myocardial infarction
• Posterior wall myocardial infarction
5.
