APEA practice test
40 year old black patient with elevated BP of 175/100 and 170/102 should start what
medications - ANS amlodipine
\6 week old with bright red rubbery nodule of dense blood vessels: Dx? - ANS
hemangioma
\a patient presents with symmetrical 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 - ANS a. plaque psoriasis
\abdominal pain and hematochezia: NOT differential - ANS IBS?
\ability of the pineal gland to produce melatonin is dependent on - ANS absence of light
\abnormal finding:
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. - ANS c. S4 in obese man with DM
\acute hep B infection - ANS varied clinical presentations

\bactrim is not effective against - ANS psuedomonas aeruginosa
\basal cell carincoma appearance - ANS pearly papules with telangiectatic nodules
