B) Pear-shaped body type is commonly found
C) Exogenous insulin is needed for control of the disease
D) Physical activity increases insulin resistance
A) Major risk factors are heredity and obesity
The FNP is examining a patient who is complaining of pain in her hips and knees.
She has a history of osteoarthritis. On physical exam, the joints are painful to
movement and are warm to the touch. What is the best immediate therapy for this
patient?
A) Physical therapy for range of motion of affected areas.
B) Decreased physical activity and immobilizing splints for affected joints.
C) Moist heat and/or cold therapy on painful joints
D) ESR to determine level of activity
C) Moist heat and/or cold therapy on painful joints
This womans age puts her at risk for Down Syndrome

affected?
A) Each cell has only one X chromosome?
B) Some cells have two X chromsomes, while the other cells have only one.
C) Each cell has two X chromsomes, but part of the chromosome is missing.

An adult patient with pernicious anemia may present with which signs and
symptoms?
A) Peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, lethargy, and fatigue
B) Hepatomegaly, jaundice, and RUQ pain
C) Hypertension, angina, and peripheral edema
D) Blurred vision, diplopia, and decreased vibratory sensation
A) Peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, lethargy, and fatigue
Vitamin B12 deficiency may result in neurologic signs and symptoms including
peripheral neuropathy, paresthesias, unsteady gait, loss of proprioception,
decreased vibratory sensation, lethargy and fatigue. In later stage, spasticity,
hyperactive reflexes and the presence of Romberg's sign are noted because ofthe
formation of a demyelinating lesion of the neurons of the spinal cord and cerebral
cortex and the presence of a beefy red tongue. These findings are specific to
pernicious anemia and must be assessed in all patient who present with anemia.
The FNP is assessing a newborn who is demonstrating a high-pitched cry,
microcephaly, hypertelorism, hypotonia, and a low birth weight. The FNP would
suspect which of the following genetic conditions?
A) Down Syndrome
B) Cri du chat
C) Charge syndrome
D) Duncan disease
B) Cri du chat
The clinical symptoms of cri du chat syndrome usually include a high-pitched cat-
like cry, mental retardation, delayed development, distinctive facial features, small
head size (microcephaly), widely-spaced eyes (hypertelorism), low birth weight
and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy.
When explaining the types of adaptive immunity, the FNP student is aware that:
A) Adaptive immunity is a cell-mediated immune response which is
B) Adaptive immunity is the level of immunity that all persons are born with.
, 4
C) Adaptive immunity occurs when antibodies are passed from the mother to the
fetus.
D) Adaptive immunity occurs through immunization.
A) Adaptive immunity is a cell-mediated immune response which is carried out by
T cells and B cells.
There are two types of adaptive immunity responses: the cell-mediated immune
response, which is carried out by T cells, and the humoral immune response, which
is controlled by activated B cells and antibodies.
A woman has sustained a traumatic brain injury. She is able to follow simple
commands and can manipulate objects. Which term describes this state?
A) Coma
B) Persistent vegetative state
C) Minimally conscious
D) Locked-in syndrome
C) Minimally conscious
When responses to the environment are seen, the patient is said to be in a
minimally conscious state
Age and the admission of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) are important diagnostic
factors in TBI. Which GCS score describes a severe TBI?
A) 13-15
B) 12-13
C) 9-12
D) 3-8
D) 3-8
The GCS is scored between 3 and 15, 3 being the worst and 15 the best.
Which term describes recurrent, intrusive thoughts or impulses?
A) Hallucinations
B) Compulsions
