In AR disorders, carriers have:

causes a disease

2.
A 76-year-old patient with a 200-pack year smoking history presents with complaints of chronic cough,
dyspnea, fatigue, hemoptysis, and weight loss over the past 2 months. The physical exam reveals decreased

MigraineDefinition
6.
Age-related changes in the bladder, urethra, and ureters include all of the following in older women except:
A. Increased estrogen production’s influence on the bladder and ureter
B. Decline in bladder outlet function
C. Decline in ureteral resistance pressure
D. Laxity of the pelvic muscle
7.
,Your patient has been using chewing tobacco for 10 years. On physical examination, you observe a white
ulceration surrounded by erythematous base on the side of his tongue. The clinician should recognize that very
often this is
Malignant melanoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Aphthous ulceration
Behcet’s syndromeDefinition
8.
When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the following in a patient with Anemia of Chronic
Disease (ACD)
Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH decreased
Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV increased, MCH increased
Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normal
Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH increased
9.
What test is used to confirm the diagnosis of appendicitis?
CBC
Flat plate of abdomen
Rectal exam
CT of abdomen with attention to appendix
10.
Functional abilities are best assessed by:
observed assessment of function
11.
Your patient is a 43-year-old female golfer who complains of arm pain. On physical examination, there is point
tenderness on the elbow and pain when the patient is asked to flex the wrist against the clinician’s resistance.
These are typical signs of:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Osteoarthritis of the wrist
Epicondylitis
Cervical osteoarthritis
12.
An 86-year-old patient who wears a hearing aid complains of poor hearing in the affected ear. In addition to
possible hearing aid malfunction, this condition is often due to
Acoustic neurom Cerumen impaction
Otitis media
Ménière’s disease
13.
Which lesions are typically located along the distribution of dermatome?
Herpes Zoster
14.
n differentiating a gastric ulcer from a duodenal ulcer, you know that each type of ulcer can present with
distinct signs and symptoms. Which of the following pieces of information from the patient’s history is the
least useful for you to determine that the patient has a duodenal ulcer?
A. Pain occurs on an empty stomach
B. Diffuse epigastric pain
, C. Rarely associated with non-steroidal use
D. Occurs in patients under 40 years of age
15.
A pneumatic otoscopic examination is used to assess:
A. Inner ear conditions
B. Otitis externa
C. Cerumen impaction
D. Tympanic membrane mobility
16.
In autosomal recessive (AR) disorders, individuals need:
Only one mutated gene on the sex
chromosomes to acquire the disease
Only one mutated gene to acquire the
disease
Two mutated genes to acquire the
disease
Two mutated genes to become carriers
17.
Which of the following disorders can cause urinary incontinence?
Cystocele
Overactive bladder
Uterine prolapse
All of the above
18.
An older patient reports burning pain after ingestion of many foods and large meals. What assessment would
assist the nurse practitioner in making a diagnosis of GERD?
A. Identification of a fluid wave
B. Positive Murphy’s sign

B. Diuretic
C. ACE inhibitor
D. Calcium antagonist
20.
A 55-year-old post-menopausal woman with a history of hypertension complains of jaw pain on heavy
exertion. There were no complaints of chest pain. Her ECG indicates normal sinus rhythm without ST segment
abnormalities. Your plan may include
