LEIK FNP PRACTICE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
GUIDE WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ After 20 wks.
Answer: At how many weeks gestation should fundal height equal
weeks gestation?
◉ 2cm or greater.
Answer: When measuring fundal height, how many centimeters
variation should warrant further testing to evaluate fetal growth
◉ The drawer sign.
Answer: Performed on the knee or ankle to assess for knee
instability. The affected knee/ankle will have more laxity when
compared to the unaffected knee/ankle.
◉ Heberden's nodes.
Answer: These are commonly seen in degenerative joint disease, and
are bony nodules located on the distal interphalangeal joints (DIPs)
◉ Laryngeal neoplasia.
,Answer: HPV infection of the larynx has been associated with:
◉ Cervical cancer..
Answer: HPV infection of the cervix is associated with:
◉ Tanner Stage III: Male.
Answer: Consist of penis lengthening and darker, course pubic hair,
which begins to curl.
◉ The Lachman maneuver.
Answer: Test performed to assess for knee instability. Knee
instability indicated a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament.
◉ Calcium channel blockers.
Answer: Antihypertensive medication that acts by blocking the
calcium channels in the heart muscle and the blood vessels, thereby
keeping more calcium in the bones. Should be used in elderly
patients with osteoporoisis
◉ Both gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
Answer: Diverticula in the colon can be infected with
◉ In the fetal and maternal liver..
,Answer: Where is AFP produced?
◉ Multiple gestations d/t growing fetuses and enlargement of the
livers.
Answer: When are higher levels of AFP commonly seen?
◉ Kyphosis.
Answer: a curvature of the spine that causes a rounding of the back,
which leads to slouching posture.
◉ Osteoporosis.
Answer: Severe thinking of the bones that contributes to this
curvature in the spine.
◉ Symptoms that may occur with severe cases of kyphosis.
Answer: difficulty breathing
fatigue
back pain
◉ An abnormal during pregnancy.
An U/S should be ordered to further evaluate the fetus for
characteristics of Down syndrome and/or fetal demise..
, Answer: What do abnormally low levels of alpha fetoprotein and
estriol and high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin indicate
and what should be done?
◉ Nerve cell damage.
Answer: What can Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia cause if not
treated?
◉ Symptoms of B12 deficiency anemia?.
Answer: tingling and numbness of fingers and toes
difficulty walking
mood changes
depression
memory loss
disorientation
dementia
◉ What do NSAIDs and ASA inhibit.
Answer: The vasodilatory effects of prostaglandins, which
predisposes the kidney to ischemia. NSAIDs and diuretics can cause
acute pre-renal failure by decreasing renal blood flow
◉ Which infections commonly affect the labia and vagina.
