NSG6001 Week 5 Final Exam 2021/2022
1: More than half of all cardiac arrhythmias involve the atria.
A) True
B) False
2: What are the most common symptoms caused by tachyarrhythmias?
a) Sweating
b) Thirst
c) Palpitations
d) Headaches
3: For women with known CAD and diabetes, which is most appropriate to assess CAD risk?
a) ETT
b) Coronary bypass surgery
c) Coronary catheterization
d) ETT with imaging
4: Of the following, which is the best answer when asked for an advantage of
echocardiogram exercise testing over thallium stress testing?
a) Does not depend on operator experience
b) Costs are the same
c) Results are available more quickly
d) Doesn’t matter because there are no advantages
5: Your patient has uncomplicated pyelonephritis. In deciding your recommended treatment, you
consider the most common pathogenic reason for this diagnosis. What pathogenaccounts for the
majority of pyelonephritis?
a) E. Coli
b) Gardnerella Vaginalis
c) Mycoplasma
d) Hominis Chlamydia
6: What purpose does the principle of fidelity serve in the provider/patient relationship?
a) Ensures that providers honor their commitments to the patient
b) Obligates the provider to a one-on-one relationship with the individual
c) Ensures that patients receive whatever they want
d) Maintains costs in the healthcare arena
7: In CAD, after both systolic and diastolic dysfunction have occurred, the typical pattern of
chest pain and related EKG changes occur. During an EKG, you should expect to seeST-
segment and T-wave changes that are central to demonstration of ischemia occurring relatively
late in the ischemic cascade. Is this true or false?
a) True
b) False

, 8: The leads on the ECG showing ischemic changes during or immediately after an ETT can
correlate roughly to the culprit artery or arteries with significant CAD. Is this true orfalse?

leading cause of cancer deaths in men greater than 50 years of age?
a) Prostate cancer
b) Lung cancer

10: What ECG changes can reduce the specificity of the ETT? Exercise induced bundle branch
blocks Paced rhythm and resting bundle branch block Paced rhythm and exercise induced bundle
branch blocks Low voltage up sloping of the ST-segment Question
11. You have confirmed that your patient does indeed have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. In
teaching your patient about symptoms to report immediately to the vascular surgeon, you
instruct the patient to report which of the following? Newly diagnosed diabetes Back pain or
flank pain Visual disturbances Headaches
12. What is one of the common causes of a Saccular Abdominal Aneurysm? Poor kidney
functioning Age Drugs: illicit and prescribed Trauma
13. The diagnostic accuracy of stress testing is decreased among women compared to men for
what reasons? Women having thinner ventricular and septal muscles Women usually have single
vessel or non-obstructive disease Women cannot exercise asvigorously as men Women typically
have multiple vessel disease
14. Population disease management is a term used to describe: High specificity disease states
Low specificity diseases states Low prevalence specific diseases High prevalence specific
diseases
15. You receive a report back on the suspected abdominal aortic aneurysm for your patient. It
confirms your suspicion of AAA. The report describes the aneurysm as a symmetric weakness of
the entire circumference of the aorta. You know that this form of aneurysm is referred to as what
kind of aneurysm? Thoracic aneurysm Budging sac aneurysm Saccular aneurysm Fusiform
aneurysm
16. Your practice partner just ordered an exercise echocardiography 2DE for a patient with
suspected cardiovascular risk. This patient has known resting wall motion abnormalities.Why
would this not be the best test to assess this patient’s cardiac risk? Sensitivity is increased
Sensitivity is decreased Specificity is increased Specificity is decreased
17. uestion : Your 60-year old male patient arrives for his appointment. He complains of general
malaise and fever over the past several days with low back pain. He also states that he is getting
up at night more often to urinate and never feels his bladder is completely empty.What
differential diagnosis should you consider in this patient? Acute viral prostatitis Stomach virus
Acute bacterial prostatitis BPH only
