During a post-hospital discharge visit, you notice your 71 year old female
patient has been diagnosed with a "new murmur" found by the hospitalist
during their recent hospitalization for CHF exacerbation. In evaluating the
patient, during which phase of the cardiac cycle would you anticipate
auscultation of a S3 or S4 heart sound?
*Diastole
*53 in systole while S4 in diastole
*Systole
*S4 in diastole while S3 in systole
Diastole
The point of maximum impulse (PMI) is MOST often palpable in healthy adults
when positioned in the supine or left lateral decubitus position. Which one of
the following locations is most commonly described as the PMI in a healthy
adult?
*Left 2nd intercostal space, midaxillary line.
*Left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line.
*Right 4th intercostal space, midaxillary line.
*Right 2nd intercostal space, midclavicular line.
Left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line
The nurse practitioner assessing the patient with a rapid cardiac rhythm may
assess for a pulse deficit by auscultating the patient's heart while watching the
EKG rhythm. Where would the S1 heart sounds correlate with the
electrocardiographic waves?
*At the end of the T wave.
*At the start of the T wave.
*Peak of the R wave.
*At the start of the P wave.
Peak of the R wave.

Michael, a 72 year old male patient who previously presented with stable
cardiac-type chest pain has underwent a stress test. He presents today to
review the stress test results, which show EKG findings of ST segment
depression during the exam in leads V3 and V4 as well as some concurrent
chest discomfort. Based on these findings, which of the following are NOT
priority medical decisions?
*Prescribe metoprolol (Lopressor) 12.5mg PO BID
*Prescribe aspirin 81mg PO daily
*Refer to cardiology for angiography
• Check for thyroid dysfunction
Check for thyroid dysfunction
While examining a 53 year old female patient, you auscultate abnormal breath
sounds over all fields, and now assess transmission of voice sounds by
having the patient say "ee" while auscultating the chest with the diaphragm of
your stethoscope. Normally, you should auscultate a muffled "e" sound,
however, you hear hear a nasally "a" sound. Which one of the following will
you document is present?
*Positive stereognosis.
*Positive for egophony.
*Negative for bronchophony.
*Negative for egophony
Positive for egophony
While assessing the 19 year old patient for a new onset cough, the nurse
practitioner may inspect, auscultate, palpate, and/or percuss.
How does performing percussion of the thorax assist the provider during the
physical examination?
*To assist with the confirmation of cardiac origin of angina.
*To assess for deep-seated lesion and tumors.
*To assess for any pain or discomfort prior to palpitation of the chest wall.
*To identify if underlying tissue are air-filled, fluid-filled or consolidated
To identify if underlying tissue are air-filled, fluid-filled or consolidated
Your 42 year old male patient has been referred to your clinic for establishing
care and on his intake survey, you note he has documented diagnosis of
interstitial lung disease. You have decided to perform a diaphragmatic
, Page 4 of 45
excursion test on the patient. Which one of the following results would you
expect to see in this patient?
*Approximately equal level of change in the descent of the diaphragm
bilaterally during maximal inspiration and expiration. with a decreased overall
inspiratory capacity.
*Ascension of 8-12 inches of the diaphragm noted bilaterally on expiration,
though often much less on the right side due to the location of the heart and
great vessels.
*Much greater descent of the diaphragm on the right side due to the liver
present (two-three times larger).
*Absent or no change in movement of the diaphragm noted between full
inspiration and full expiration measurement.
Approximately equal level of change in the descent of the diaphragm bilaterally
during maximal inspiration and expiration. with a decreased overall inspiratory
capacity
Your 50 year old Caucasian male patient has not seen a primary care giver in
20+ years and is here for a history and physical examination. While examining
the head and face, you see your patient has nonpitting periorbital edema,
particularly underneath their eyes and very dry, thinned hair, including the
lateral third of eyebrows (as pictured below: Sparse hairline, thin lateral
eyebrows, Periobital edema). Which one of the folowing would you expect to
cause this finding?
*Severe hypothyroidism
*Addison's disease
*Grave's disease
*Alzhemiers.
Severe hypothyroidism
A40 year old, female, African American patient presents for history and
physical. Upon your initial assessment, you notice she has severe
exophthalmos as pictured below. Which one of the following diagnoses below
would be the highest on your differential diagnose of this physical
examination finding? (eyes bulging out of her head)
*Bilateral conjunctivitis.
*Hyperthyroidism.
