ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT MIDTERM
EXAM NEW VERSION WITH 250 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS |WELL GRADED A+
erosion skin lesion - CORRECT ANSWERS-focal loss of epidermis, usually doesn't
leave scar.
Latensification - CORRECT ANSWERS-Prolonged, intense scratching eventually
thickens the skin and produces tightly packed sets of papules; looks like surface of
moss (or lichen)
"area of itchy dry skin that you describe as thickened, normal in color/out drainage,
vesicles, edema"
scales - CORRECT ANSWERS-flakes or dry patches made up of excess dead
epidermal cells
Nevis - CORRECT ANSWERS-mole
papule - CORRECT ANSWERS-can be type of acne- but doesn’t have to be acne, just
describes shape and characteristic of a skin lesion. Doesn't have pus, a small, raised,
solid pimple or swelling, often forming part of a rash on the skin and typically inflamed
but not producing pus.
solid, elevated, circumscribed, < 1cm • eg: elevated nevus (mole), molluscum, wart
(verruca)
pustule - CORRECT ANSWERS-acne lesion
elevation of skin containing pus
Milia - CORRECT ANSWERS-small raised white spots on nose, chin, and forehead
infant Miliaria rubra - CORRECT ANSWERS-scattered vesicles on an erythematous
base, sweat gland obstruction, disappears w/in weeks
Eccrine glands produce - CORRECT ANSWERS-thin and watery sweat
apocrine glands - CORRECT ANSWERS-a sweat gland that secretes a viscous, milky
fluid into a hair follicle (as in the armpit or groin), is lined with a single layer of usually
columnar cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, and typically does not become active until
puberty
when bacteria interacts with=body odor
causes of jaundice - CORRECT ANSWERS-yellow- r/t rising bilirubin as in hepatitis,
cirrhosis, sickle cell
,Dysplastic Melanocytic Nevi (DMN)Prevalence Rate = 5% - CORRECT ANSWERS-a
non cancerous mole that develops but is benign.
can it turn into cancer: Yes, but most dysplastic nevi do not turn into melanoma (1, 3).
Most remain stable over time. Researchers estimate that the chance of melanoma is
about ten times greater for someone with more than five dysplastic nevi than for
someone who has none, and the more dysplastic nevi a person has, the greater the
chance of developing melanoma.
Runs in families
congenital giant nevis - CORRECT ANSWERS-a skin condition characterized by an
abnormally dark, noncancerous skin patch (nevus) that is composed of pigment-
producing cells called melanocytes. It is present from birth (congenital) or is noticeable
soon after birth. The nevus may be small in infants, but it will usually grow at the same
rate the body grows and will eventually be at least 40 cm (15.75 inches) across. The
nevus can appear anywhere on the body, but it is more often found on the trunk or
limbs. The color ranges from tan to black and can become darker or lighter over time.
The surface of a nevus can be flat, rough, raised, thickened, or bumpy; the surface can
vary in different regions of the nevus, and it can change over time. The skin of the
nevus is often dry and prone to irritation and itching (dermatitis). Excessive hair growth
(hypertrichosis) can occur within the nevus.
difference between pathlogic jaundice and physiological - CORRECT ANSWERS-
physiologic: appears day 2-3, dissapears within a week of birth
pathologic: appears in 1st 24 hrs after birth, r/t hemolytic disease of newborn, extending
beyond 2-3 weeks should be a concern
infant erythema toxicum - CORRECT ANSWERS-looks like flea bites, ? etiology,
disappear w/in a week after birth
Pustular melanosis: - CORRECT ANSWERS-seen in African American infants, can last
several months, small vesiculopustules over a brown macular base
Milia: - CORRECT ANSWERS-pinhead smooth white raised areas w/out surrounding
erythema on nose, chin, forehead caused by retention of sebum in sebacious glands
scleroderma - CORRECT ANSWERS-chronic progressive disease of the skin and
internal organs with hardening and shrinking of connective tissue
cherry angioma - CORRECT ANSWERS-a small, round, bright red blood vessel tumor
on the skin, often on the trunk of the elderly/adults-non signifigant
Bruising Stages - CORRECT ANSWERS-• 0-5 days red, blue, purple, tender
• 5-10 days greenish yellow
• > 10 days brown
• 2-4 weeks healed
, Ecchymosis - CORRECT ANSWERS-bruising
what is included in subjective information? - CORRECT ANSWERS-CC, HPI, PMH, SH,
FH, ROS
objective data includes: - CORRECT ANSWERS-Heard, felt, seen, or smelled.
Obtained by observation or physical examination
ROS includes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Patient reported-not physical component
-constitutional (weight loss, fever, etc.)
-skin
-HEENT (head, ears, nose, throat)
-cardiovascular
-respiratory
-gastrointestinal
-genitourinary
-hematologic
-immunologic/ allergic
-musculoskeletal
-neurologic

OLD CART pneumonic stands for - CORRECT ANSWERS-Onset
Location
Duration
Characteristics
Aggravating factors
Relieving factors
Treatment
Duke Activity Status Index - CORRECT ANSWERS-measure's patient's functional
capacity. Rough estimate of peak oxygen uptake. <15=transplant candidate,
>20=none to mild impairment
Mini Mental State Exam - CORRECT ANSWERS-Concentrates only on cognitive
functioning, not on mood or thought processes
Standard set of 11 questions, requires only 5 to 10 minutes to administer
Useful for both initial and serial measurement, so worsening or improvement of
cognition over time and with treatment can be assessed
Good screening tool to detect dementia and delirium and to differentiate these from
psychiatric mental illness
Normal mental status average 27; scores between 24 and 30 indicate no cognitive
impairment
