onset to presentation, what finding would be expected on
the EKG?
- QT prolongation
- P wave inversion
- Presence of a large Q wave in areas of infarction
- A normal EKG in areas of infarction -
...ANSWER...✓✓presence of large Q wave in areas of
infarction

- ezetimibe prior to initiating statin therapy
- moderate intensity statin therapy
- high intensity statin therapy - ...ANSWER...✓✓high
intensity statin therapy

...ANSWER...✓✓potential increase in ejection fraction
A nurse practitioner places a 76-year-old patient on
nifedipine (Procardia) 10 mg t.i.d. for angina. The patient is
unable to remember to take the medication at the

As the nurse practitioner working in a primary care clinic,
you have been notified from a hospitalist that your long-
term patient with a history of HFrEF (heart failure with
reduced ejection fraction) with an ejection fraction of 40%
two years ago who is also not on optimal medical therapy
, 4|Page
has been diagnosed with a myocardial infarction this
admission and received emergent placement of a drug-
eluting stent to the left anterior descending artery. As the
patient's medical home who will manage this patient after
discharge, which of the following would you expect to be
a priority in the patient's care for their heart failure after
an acute MI?
- ordering a new TTE and order a Lifevest if EF is less
than 45%
- ordering a new TTE and order lifevest if EF is less than
35%
- ordering a holter monitor for 7 days post-discharge
- ordering aspirin and clopidogrel for 3 mos at discharge
- ...ANSWER...✓✓ordering a new TTE and order lifevest if
EF is less than 35%
Your patient presents with a blowing systolic murmur
rated 3/6 that is heard best over the left chest at the 5th
intercostal space, left midclavicular space, radiating to
the left axilla. This likely represents which cardiac
