INTRODUCTION
The UTA NURS 5338 Family Clinical Practice II (CP2) Final Exam is designed
to evaluate the graduate family nurse practitioner student's readiness for
autonomous clinical practice. This comprehensive assessment evaluates
mastery of advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology, and diagnostic
reasoning across the lifespan. The test employs multiple-choice and scenario-
based questions emphasizing real-world clinical application, critical thinking,
and evidence-based decision-making. It rigorously assesses the ability to
synthesize clinical data, formulate differential diagnoses, interpret diagnostic
studies, and develop patient-centered management plans, ensuring readiness
for board certification and independent practice.
,SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–150
1. A nurse practitioner is assessing a patient's chest and notes the
anatomical landmarks shown in the diagram below. The angle of Louis
is located at which of the following anatomical positions?
[DIAGRAM: Anterior view of the thorax showing the sternum with the
manubriosternal junction marked. Labels indicate: A = Suprasternal notch, B
= Angle of Louis (sternal angle), C = Xiphoid process, D = Costal margin]
A. Suprasternal notch
B. Angle of Louis (sternal angle)
C. Xiphoid process
D. Costal margin
B. Angle of Louis (sternal angle)
RATIONALE: The angle of Louis (sternal angle) is the palpable ridge at
the manubriosternal junction. It is a critical landmark because the second rib
attaches at this level, making it the starting point for counting ribs and
intercostal spaces. It also marks the level of the carina and the T4-T5 vertebral
level.
2. A nurse practitioner is performing a cardiovascular assessment and
is locating the point of maximal impulse (PMI). Based on the diagram
below, the PMI is normally located at which position?
[DIAGRAM: Anterior view of the chest showing the heart silhouette with the
apex marked. Labels indicate: A = Aortic area (2nd ICS, right sternal border),
B = Pulmonic area (2nd ICS, left sternal border), C = Tricuspid area (4th ICS,
left sternal border), D = Mitral area/PMI (5th ICS, left midclavicular line)]
A. Aortic area (2nd ICS, right sternal border)
B. Pulmonic area (2nd ICS, left sternal border)
, C. Tricuspid area (4th ICS, left sternal border)
D. Mitral area/PMI (5th ICS, left midclavicular line)
D. Mitral area/PMI (5th ICS, left midclavicular line)
RATIONALE: The point of maximal impulse (PMI) is the location where
the apical pulse is best felt or heard. In most adults, it is located at the fifth
intercostal space at the left midclavicular line, which corresponds to the
mitral valve area.
3. A nurse practitioner is assessing a patient with suspected
hepatomegaly. Based on the diagram below showing abdominal
quadrants, in which quadrant is the liver primarily located?
[DIAGRAM: Abdomen divided into four quadrants labeled RUQ (Right Upper
Quadrant), LUQ (Left Upper Quadrant), RLQ (Right Lower Quadrant), and
LLQ (Left Lower Quadrant). The liver is outlined primarily in the RUQ
extending across the midline.]
A. Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
B. Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
C. Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
D. Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
A. Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
RATIONALE: The liver is primarily located in the Right Upper Quadrant
(RUQ) of the abdomen, extending from the right costal margin to the
epigastric region. The spleen is in the LUQ, the appendix is in the RLQ, and
the sigmoid colon is in the LLQ.
4. A nurse practitioner is performing an otoscopic examination. Based
on the diagram below showing the tympanic membrane, which
structure is identified by the arrow?
