APEA Predictor Exam – Comprehensive Study
& Practice Guide with correct answer
a patient presents with symmetrical a.plaque psoriasis
erythematous lesions on extensor surfaces
of elbows, knees, and back. margins are
sharply defined. this is most likely:
a.plaque psoriasis
b. tinea corposis
c. atopic dermatitis
d. eczema
which patient is not considered at high risk B- 30 year old whose grandmother was diagnosed at age 65
for colorectal cancer?
a.20 year old with hx of abdominal
radiation from childhood cancer
b. 30 year old woman whose grandma was
diagnosed with CR CA at age 65
c. 38 year old woman with ulcerative colitis
d. 50 year old man with 1st degree
relative diagnosed with CR CA at age
45
serious adverse effects of azithromycin D. QT prolongation
serious side effect of sildenafil c. priapism
pt taking PPI for 6 months has diarrhea for 3 d. c. diff
weeks. consider:
abnormal finding: c. S4 in obese man with DM
a.apical pulse in 22 year old man
b. systolic murmur in a woman who is 18
weeks pregnant with BMI of 38
c. S4 in 58 year old obese man with DM
d. BP of 118/65 in a frail 78 year old man.
side effect of azelastine opthalmic drops for a. bitter taste
allergic conjunctivitis
presbycusis c. symmetrical hearing loss
do not give corticosteroids in combination live vaccines
with
side effects of levonorgestrel to prevent nausea/vomiting
pregnancy include
cervical motion tenderness (chandelier sign) PID
suggestive of
, increased efficacy of ARBS without chlorothiazide
increased side effects when administered
with
symptomatic female with midsystolic MVP
click and late systolic murmur
indicative of
peak bilirubin level in full term infant 3-4 days for full term
infant premature: 5-7
days
side effect of amoxicillin in children abdominal pain
hypersensitivty- nausea, vomiting, pruritis, urticaria etc
monoarticular pain in first gouty arthritis
metatarsophalangeal joint; edematous and
inflamed
not a common neuro sign for suspected papilledema
meningitis
bactrim is not effective against psuedomonas aeruginosa
pt with DM treated with levofloxacin for UTI; hypoglycemia
monitor fo:
maintenance therapy for allergic rhinitis topical nasal steroid
weight loss, elevated CRP and ESR but chrons disease
denies hematochezia
peds patients at greater risk for adrenal higher ratio of skin surface area to body mass
suppression related to topical steroid use
due to
joints least likely to be affected by wrists
osteoarthritis
patient with eating disorder may also have anxiety disorder
meds that do not produce bronchodilation gluccocorticoids
condition not likely to cause a rise in unstable angina
troponin levels
pyelonephritis on oral cipro, worsening consider hospitalization and treatment with IV antibiotics
symptoms after two days
use of nonselective beta blockers to treat bronchial constriction
migraines can cause
