QUESTION 1
1. Mr. Jeffers was admitted 2 days ago for a carotid endarterectomy. A Foley catheter
was inserted intraoperatively and remains in place. His urine output has declined markedly
despite continued IV fluid infusion. Today his morning labs reveal a BUN of 19 mg/dL and a
creatinine of 2 mg/dL. A leading differential includes:
A Foley lodged in the urethra causing post-
. renal failure
B Decreased renal perfusion causing prerenal
. failure
C Age-related decreased eGFR causing
. prerenal failure
D Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis causing
. intrarenal failure

QUESTION 2
1. Janet is admitted with symptomatic tachycardia. Her pulse is 160 b.p.m. and she is
weak, diaphoretic, and anxious. Physical examination reveals a 5’4” 107 lb black female who
is awake, alert, and oriented, anxious, with moist skin and racing pulse. Her blood pressure
is 140/100 mm Hg. Temperature and respiratory rate are within normal limits. The patient
admits to having a “thyroid condition” but she never followed up on it when she was advised
to see an endocrinologist. The AGACNP anticipates a diagnosis of:
A Hashimoto’s
. thyroiditis
B Cushing’s
. syndrome
C Grave’s disease
.
D Addison’s disease
.

A patient presents with profound vertigo of acute onset yesterday. She can barely
turn her head without becoming very vertiginous; she is nauseous and just doesn’t want to
move. This morning when she tried to get out of bed she felt like she was pushed back
down. The vertigo is reproducible with cervical rotation. The patient denies any hearing loss
or tinnitus, she has no fever or other symptoms. The AGACNP knows that the most helpful
intervention will probably be:
A Meclizine
.
B Diazepam
.
C Bed rest
.
D Epley’s
. maneuvers

1. Mrs. Mireya is an 85-year-old female who is admitted for evaluation of acute mental
status change from the long term care facility. She is normally ambulatory and participates
in lots of facility activities. Today a nursing assistant found her in her room, appearing
confused and disconnected from her environment. When she tried to get up she fell down.
Her vital signs are stable excepting a blood pressure of 90/60 mm Hg. The AGACNP knows
that the most likely cause of her symptoms is:
A Osteoarthritis
.
B Drug or alcohol
. toxicity
C Hypotension
.
D Urosepsis

Sean is a 29-year-old male who presents to the emergency department for evaluation
and treatment of foreign body in the eye. Ophthalmic anesthesia is achieved and removal is
attempted unsuccessfully with a moist cotton tipped swab. A wet fluorescein stain is applied
to the lower eyelid, and a corneal abrasion ruled out but the AGACNP notes a positive Seidel
sign. This indicates:
A Penetration of the cornea with resultant
. aqueous leak
B A rust ring remnant due to metal foreign
. body
C An elevated intraocular pressure
.
D Paradoxical pupil dilation in response to
. light

Mrs. Lowen is an 82-year-old female who comes to the emergency department for
evaluation of a fever of 102.9° F. She complains of a headache in the right side of her temple
and some right-sided jaw pain. A urinalysis, chest radiograph, complete blood count (CBC)
and 12-lead ECG are all non-contributory. A comprehensive metabolic panel is significant
only for a slightly elevated BUN and creatinine. The AGACNP appreciates distinct right
temple tenderness to percussion. Which laboratory test is necessary to support the
suspected diagnosis?
A An erythrocyte
. sedimentation rate
B A white blood cell
. differential
C Two sets of blood cultures
.
D Echocardiography

QUESTION 9
1. Ms. Schiebel, a 31-year-old female who is brought to the emergency department by
police after being arrested for disruptive behavior in a public establishment. The
differential diagnosis includes drug and alcohol ingestion/toxicity, central nervous system
disease, severe trauma, and psychotic illness; ultimately the alcohol and toxicology screen
as well as head imaging are negative. When considering psychotic illness, the AGACP
knows that this is a physiologic imbalance that typically involves an excess of:
A Serotonin
.
B Norepinephr
. ine
C Acetylcholin
. e
D Dopamine

QUESTION 10
1. Mr. Lincoln is a 55-year-old male who was admitted for management of sepsis
secondary to pneumonia. He has declined rapidly, and today chest radiography
demonstrates a diffuse, bilateral “white-out” appearance. His paO2 is 55 mm Hg. In order
to
increase his oxygenation the AGACNP knows that which of the following interventions is
indicated?
A Increased FiO2
.
B Increased
. respiratory rate
C Increased tidal
. volume
D Increased PEEP
.

QUESTION 11
1. A 29-year-old female patient presents with a complaint of palpitations. Physical
examination reveals an essentially healthy female with no significant medical history and no

or so ago. The vital signs include a blood pressure of 139/90 mm Hg, pulse of 105 b.p.m,
respiratory rate of 16 b.p.m. and a temperature of 98.6° F. The only abnormal finding on
physical examination is diffuse anterior neck tenderness with thyroid palpation. The AGACNP
considers which medication for symptom control?
A Ibuprofen
.
B Pseudoephed
. rine
