Introduction
,This comprehensive examination is designed to assess the knowledge and competencies required for the MN566
Midterm Exam, as part of the Nurse Practitioner I - Introduction to Primary Care for the Nurse Practitioner course.
The exam evaluates understanding of advanced health assessment, differential diagnosis, pharmacology, acute
and chronic disease management, health promotion, and evidence-based practice. Questions are structured as
multiple-choice items that require critical thinking, application of clinical guidelines, and sound diagnostic
reasoning. Emphasis is placed on real-world clinical decision-making, patient safety, and the practical skills
necessary for success as a primary care nurse practitioner.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
A 45-year-old male presents with right knee pain that began after twisting his knee during a basketball game.
On examination, there is joint effusion, tenderness along the medial joint line, and a positive McMurray test.
Which diagnosis is most consistent with these findings?
A. Patellofemoral syndrome
B. Medial meniscus tear
C. Anterior cruciate ligament tear
D. Osteoarthritis
🟢B
,🔴 RATIONALE: A positive McMurray test, joint effusion, and medial joint line tenderness following a twisting
injury are classic findings of a medial meniscus tear. Patellofemoral syndrome (A) typically presents with anterior
knee pain and crepitus. ACL tears (C) are associated with an acute hemarthrosis and a positive Lachman or
anterior drawer test. Osteoarthritis (D) is a chronic degenerative condition more common in older adults.
Question 2
A 58-year-old female presents with progressive bilateral knee pain that is worse with activity and improves with
rest. She reports morning stiffness lasting approximately 15 minutes. Radiographs show joint space narrowing
and osteophytes. Which diagnosis is most likely?
A. Rheumatoid arthritis
B. Osteoarthritis
C. Gout
D. Septic arthritis
🟢B
🔴 RATIONALE: Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive joint pain worsening with activity and improving
with rest, morning stiffness less than 30 minutes, and radiographic findings of joint space narrowing and
osteophytes. Rheumatoid arthritis (A) typically presents with inflammatory joint pain, prolonged morning
stiffness >30 minutes, and systemic symptoms. Gout (C) presents with acute, severe monoarticular pain. Septic
arthritis (D) presents with acute pain, fever, and erythema.
, Question 3
A patient presents with heel pain that is worst with the first steps in the morning and improves with activity.
Pain is reproduced with palpation of the medial calcaneal tubercle. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Plantar fasciitis
B. Achilles tendinopathy
C. Calcaneal stress fracture
D. Tarsal tunnel syndrome
🟢A
🔴 RATIONALE: Plantar fasciitis is characterized by heel pain that is worst with the first steps in the morning and
improves with activity. Pain is reproduced with palpation of the medial calcaneal tubercle. Achilles tendinopathy
(B) presents with posterior heel pain; calcaneal stress fractures (C) present with pain that worsens with activity;
tarsal tunnel syndrome (D) presents with burning or tingling in the plantar aspect of the foot.
Question 4
What is the most appropriate initial imaging study for a patient with suspected osteoarthritis of the knee?
A. MRI
B. CT scan
C. Weight-bearing X-ray
D. Ultrasound
