,Introduction:
This comprehensive knowledge check examination is designed to evaluate the advanced practice nursing student's
mastery of gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, and hematologic conditions commonly encountered in
primary care. The exam assesses foundational pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and
evidence-based management strategies for these complex conditions. Through a combination of multiple-choice
questions and clinical scenarios, students will demonstrate their ability to synthesize patient information, prioritize
interventions, and apply pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments. Emphasis is placed on critical
thinking, differential diagnosis, patient education, and the integration of best practices to optimize health
outcomes across diverse patient populations.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
A 55-year-old male presents with complaints of epigastric pain that worsens 2-3 hours after meals and is
relieved by eating. He reports taking over-the-counter antacids with partial relief. Which of the following is the
most likely diagnosis?
A. Gastric ulcer
B. Duodenal ulcer
,C. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
D. Gastritis
🟢 B. Duodenal ulcer
🔴 RATIONALE: Duodenal ulcers characteristically present with epigastric pain that occurs 2-3 hours after meals
and is relieved by food or antacids. Gastric ulcers (A) typically cause pain that worsens with eating. GERD (C)
presents with heartburn and regurgitation. Gastritis (D) may present with similar symptoms but is more diffuse.
Question 2
A 45-year-old female presents with fatigue, pallor, and shortness of breath on exertion. Laboratory studies
reveal hemoglobin 8.5 g/dL, mean corpuscular volume 72 fL, and ferritin 8 ng/mL. Which of the following is the
most likely diagnosis?
A. Iron deficiency anemia
B. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia
C. Folate deficiency anemia
D. Anemia of chronic disease
🟢 A. Iron deficiency anemia
🔴 RATIONALE: Iron deficiency anemia presents with microcytic (low MCV), hypochromic anemia with low
ferritin. Vitamin B12 deficiency (B) and folate deficiency (C) present with macrocytic anemia (elevated MCV).
Anemia of chronic disease (D) typically presents with normocytic anemia and normal or elevated ferritin.
, Question 3
A 62-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presents with a non-healing ulcer on the plantar
surface of the right foot. The ulcer extends to bone and has a foul odor. Which of the following is the priority
intervention?
A. Start oral antibiotics
B. Obtain wound culture
C. Refer for surgical debridement and vascular assessment
D. Apply topical antimicrobial ointment
🟢 C. Refer for surgical debridement and vascular assessment
🔴 RATIONALE: A diabetic foot ulcer with bone exposure and foul odor requires surgical debridement and
vascular assessment. While antibiotics (A), wound culture (B), and topical agents (D) are important, surgical
intervention is the priority to prevent amputation.
Question 4
A 48-year-old female presents with dysuria, urinary frequency, and suprapubic pain. Urinalysis reveals leukocyte
esterase and nitrites. Which of the following is the most appropriate empiric antibiotic?
A. Ciprofloxacin
B. Nitrofurantoin
