Time Allocation: 90 Minutes
Total Questions: 60
Instructions: Answer all questions. Select the most appropriate answer for each
clinical scenario. This assessment is designed for advanced nursing students
demonstrating competency in telehealth cardiovascular evaluation.
Core Competency Domains:
• Telehealth Cardiovascular Assessment Techniques
• Clinical Reasoning and Differential Diagnosis
• Cardiovascular Pathophysiology
• Patient Communication and Virtual Examination Skills
• Diagnostic Interpretation in Remote Settings
• Risk Stratification and Clinical Decision-Making
Candidate Instructions:
This examination assesses advanced-level competencies in conducting
cardiovascular assessments via telehealth platforms. Candidates are expected
to apply clinical reasoning, interpret patient-reported symptoms, and identify
subtle findings in a remote setting. Carefully read each scenario and select
the best answer. Some questions require differentiation between similar
cardiovascular conditions based on limited virtual assessment data. Time
management is critical. All questions must be completed within the allocated
90 minutes.
, Introduction:
This simulated assessment reflects the structure and rigor of graduate-level
advanced health assessment examinations focused on telehealth
cardiovascular evaluation. It emphasizes real-world clinical decision-making
in remote environments, where physical examination is limited and relies
heavily on patient-reported data and visual cues. The exam challenges
candidates to integrate pathophysiology, assessment skills, and
telecommunication strategies to deliver safe and effective care.

examination.
Q1. A 58-year-old male reports chest discomfort during a telehealth visit. He
describes a pressure-like sensation that occurs with exertion and resolves with
rest. Which diagnosis is most consistent with this presentation?
A. Acute pericarditis
B. Stable angina pectoris
C. Pulmonary embolism
D. Aortic dissection
Correct Answer: B. Stable angina pectoris
Explanation: Stable angina is characterized by predictable chest pain
triggered by exertion and relieved by rest due to transient myocardial ischemia.
Acute pericarditis typically presents with sharp pain worsened by inspiration.
Pulmonary embolism causes sudden dyspnea and pleuritic pain. Aortic
dissection presents with tearing chest pain radiating to the back.
,Q2. During a telehealth visit, a patient reports palpitations and dizziness. Which
follow-up question is most critical?
A. “Do you consume caffeine?”
B. “Have you experienced syncope?”
C. “What is your diet like?”
D. “Do you exercise regularly?”
Correct Answer: B. Have you experienced syncope?
Explanation: Syncope may indicate a serious arrhythmia or hemodynamic
instability. While caffeine intake and lifestyle factors are relevant, they are less
urgent. Exercise and diet are important for long-term management but not
immediate risk stratification.
Q3. A patient shows bilateral ankle swelling on video. What is the most likely
cardiovascular cause?
A. Deep vein thrombosis
B. Right-sided heart failure
C. Myocardial infarction
D. Mitral valve prolapse
Correct Answer: B. Right-sided heart failure
Explanation: Bilateral edema suggests systemic venous congestion typical of
right-sided heart failure. DVT usually presents unilaterally. MI presents with
chest pain. Mitral valve prolapse does not typically cause peripheral edema.
Q4. Which telehealth assessment technique best evaluates jugular venous
distention (JVD)?
, A. Asking patient to lie flat and rotate head
B. Observing neck veins at 45-degree angle
C. Palpating carotid artery
D. Listening to heart sounds
Correct Answer: B. Observing neck veins at 45-degree angle
Explanation: JVD is best visualized with the patient at a 45-degree angle.
Lying flat exaggerates findings. Palpation and auscultation are not visual
methods. This technique is adaptable for telehealth observation.
Q5. A patient describes sudden onset of severe chest pain radiating to the back.
What is the priority concern?
A. Gastroesophageal reflux
B. Aortic dissection
C. Angina
D. Costochondritis
Correct Answer: B. Aortic dissection
Explanation: Tearing chest pain radiating to the back is classic for aortic
dissection. GERD causes burning pain. Angina is exertional. Costochondritis is
localized and reproducible.
Q6. Which symptom is most concerning for heart failure during telehealth
assessment?
A. Occasional fatigue
B. Orthopnea
