NR 667 CEA QUIZ BANK —
CHAMBERLAIN | QUESTIONS 1–100 AND
ANSWERS | 2026/2027 UPDATED |
DETAILED RATIONALES
Introduction
This practice guide is intended to help Chamberlain students prepare for the NR 667
CEA assessment through application-based questions, clinical reasoning, and answer
explanations. Because the course-specific meaning of “CEA” and the official
assessment blueprint have not been provided, the material should be treated as a
general study resource rather than a verified reproduction of Chamberlain's quiz.
Effective preparation involves more than memorizing facts. Students should be able to
interpret clinical information, prioritize patient safety, distinguish expected findings
from warning signs, select appropriate next steps, and explain the rationale for clinical
decisions. Practice questions can help identify knowledge gaps and strengthen
decision-making under assessment conditions.
The question bank will use four-option multiple-choice scenarios and detailed
rationales. To align the questions more closely with your course, compare the topics
with your learning objectives, assigned readings, and instructor-provided study guide.
No practice bank can guarantee a particular grade or confirm the exact content of an
institution's current assessment.
Core domains for review
Public course-preparation pages describe NR 667 as an FNP capstone/practicum
course and the CEA as a comprehensive assessment of clinical readiness. These
descriptions are not an official Chamberlain exam blueprint.

QUESTIONS 1–100
Cardiovascular
Q1: A 58-year-old patient has blood pressure readings of 154/96 and 150/94 mmHg at
separate visits. They have no acute symptoms. What is the most appropriate next step
before finalizing long-term management?
A) Diagnose a hypertensive emergency B) Confirm persistent hypertension with
accurate repeat measurements and, when appropriate, home or ambulatory monitoring
C) Start three antihypertensive medications immediately D) Ignore the readings until
symptoms develop
Rationale: B is correct because accurate measurement and confirmation help establish
sustained hypertension and guide individualized treatment. A is incorrect because
hypertensive emergency requires severe elevation with acute target-organ injury, not
merely these readings. C is inappropriate because initial therapy should be tailored to
confirmed blood pressure, risk, and comorbidities. D is unsafe because hypertension
can cause harm without symptoms.
Q2: A patient with atrial fibrillation develops hypotension, chest pain, confusion, and
signs of poor perfusion. What is the priority intervention?
A) Schedule outpatient cardiology review B) Begin oral anticoagulation and reassess
in one week C) Arrange immediate emergency stabilization and synchronized
cardioversion when indicated D) Recommend caffeine avoidance and a symptom
diary
Rationale: C is correct because hemodynamic instability associated with
tachyarrhythmia requires emergency treatment, commonly synchronized
cardioversion when the arrhythmia is responsible. A and D delay care. B does not
correct the immediate instability; anticoagulation decisions are important but do not
replace emergency stabilization.
Q3: A patient with type 2 diabetes and hypertension has a urine albumin-to-creatinine
ratio above the normal range. Which additional assessment is most useful for
evaluating kidney involvement?
A) Serum amylase B) Serum creatinine with estimated glomerular filtration rate
(eGFR) C) Troponin in the absence of cardiac symptoms D) Serum lipase
