• The groove of the metacarpophalangeal joint can be palpated by having the
patient:
• Flex his hand
• When auscultating breath sounds in a patient who has left sided heart failure,
the breath sounds are:
• vesicular with late inspiratory crackles in the dependent portions of
the lungs and resonant on percussion
• The ankle-brachial index is a screening test used to assess a person’s risk for:a.
Peripheral artery disease
• Olecranon bursitis may be caused by all of the following except:a.
Frozen shoulder

Pale
• A term used to describe an increase in muscular bulk with diminished
strength is:
• Pseudohypertrophy
• If abdominal pain persists when the patient raises his head and shoulders,
the origin of the tenderness is probably:
• In the abdominal wall
,• On auscultation of the abdomen, rushes of high-pitched sounds are audible
and coincide with abdominal cramps. These findings are most consistent
with:
• Intestinal obstruction

and around the macular area. These findings are consistent with:
• Microaneurysms
• Symptoms of a subdural hematoma include:
• Noticeable bleeding between the dura and the cerebrum on x-ray

related to articular structure disease are true except which one?

buttocks and head are not easily palpated at the fundus, the fetus is said to be
in:
• Transverse lie
• When performing a musculoskeletal examination, the nurse practitioner
instructs the patient to move his arm in front of his body. This motion of the
shoulder girdle would be an example of:
• Flexion
• To locate the twelfth rib, palpate:
• Between the spine and the lateral chest
• Walking on the toes and heels may reveal: a.
Distal muscular weakness in the legs
• When performing a bimanual exam of the vagina, the examiner should
lubricate the index and middle fingers of a gloved hand. From a standing
position, the fingers should be inserted into the vagina while exerting
pressure primarily:
