is currently taking 6.25 mg carvedilol (Coreg) twice a day and 50 mg losartan
(Cozaar) and 20 mg furosemide (Lasix) daily. His oxygen saturation is 95%, and he

Correct Answer > Endoscopy with small intestine biopsy
A 44-year-old woman has recently been diagnosed with advanced metastatic non-
small-cell lung cancer. Genetic testing is ordered to determine if the patient's
tumor has any genomic alterations and to guide treatment decisions. A few weeks
later, the patient's test results come back positive for a genetic mutation. The
APN starts osimertinib (Tagrisso). Based on this information, what type of genetic
mutation does this patient have? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > EGFR mutation and
ALK Mutation
,A 20-year-old male meets with an advanced professional nurse (APN) to discuss
symptoms that have been slowly progressing over the past several years. He is
mainly concerned because he has been falling frequently. Since childhood, his gait
has consisted of walking on his toes. During middle school, he was able to
participate in sports but was unable to participate in high school sports due to

more difficult to change positions from sitting to standing than it used to in the
past. He has also been waking up with muscle and joint stiffness. The APRN notes
that his family history is not significant for any chronic or genetic diseases. Which
condition is likely to be the cause of these symptoms? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Becker muscular dystrophy
--Becker muscular dystrophy (often called Becker MD or BMD) is a form of
muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that gradually makes the body's muscles
weaker and smaller. It causes less severe problems than the most common
type, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

reactive antibodies.
A female patient presents to an office to establish care. Her previous primary care
provider told her to follow up regarding an elevated ferritin level. She has no
, previous medical history and is currently asymptomatic. She is concerned about
the elevated ferritin and would like to know if she should be worried. What
should the provider do next for this patient? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Order a
liver function test
A 75-year-old female presents to the emergency department with an irregular
heart rate of 130.What can be ascertained about this patient's findings given the
limited information? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > She is diagnosed with atrial
fibrillation and needs her heart rate controlled with metoprolol (Lopressor).
A 75-year-old male presents with a history of transient ischemic attack, acute
myocardial infarction, angina, and atrial fibrillation. The patient's echocardiogram
shows low cardiac output and loss of contractility.
Which condition from this patient's medical history is contributing to the loss of
contractility? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Acute myocardial infarction
A patient presents to an emergency room with blurred vision, fatigue, shortness
of breath, and disorientation. Some of the preliminary lab results reveal the
following: glucose >400 mg/dL, sodium 150 mEq/L, potassium 7 mEq/L, serum
bicarbonate 12 mEq/L, serum creatinine 3 mg/dL.
