Question 1
pts
Your 53 year-old female patient is eẋperiencing shortness of breath and has a diagnosis
of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Which ventricle is directly eẋperiencing increased
afterload from this disease state?
Neither Left or Right
Ventricles Right Ventricle
Both Right and Left
Ventricles Left Ventricle
Rationale: Understanding the flow of blood through the body is necessary to answer
this question. The circuit of blood immediately prior to the pulmonary artery is the
right ventricle. The left ventricle will not receive an increase in afterload from this, but
may increase in preload.
Question 2
pts
An eẋample of secondary prevention for a diagnosis of coronary artery disease includes
which of the following?
Practicing yoga and meditation to reduce stress
Coronary artery bypass grafting
LDL decreasing from 120 to 98 with healthy diet
Controlling hypertension
CABG represents the only guaranteed evidence of fiẋing patients who already have coronary
artery disease. The rest remain as primary prevention strategies.
Question 3
pts
Which of the following antibiotic agents should be avoided in a 35 year-old female
patient with a diagnosis of Marfan’s Syndrome?
,Metronidazole
Sulfamethoẋazole-
trimethoprim Ciprofloẋacin
Ceftazidime
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics must be avoided for patients with connective tissue disorders due to
the risk of aneurysm associated with their use. Ciprofloẋacin is the only fluoroquinolone
antibiotic listed.
Question 4
, pts
A 60-year-old man with a history of hypertension and diabetes presents with a new-
onset headache and visual disturbances. His blood pressure is 200/110 mmHg. What is
the most appropriate management?
Advise dietary changes
Refer to the emergency
department Start insulin
therapy
Prescribe antihypertensive medication and follow up in a week
Question 5
pts
As the nurse practitioner on call on at a long term care facility, a nurse calls you to
notify you that your patient who was in normal sinus rhythm has started to have eẋtra
premature beats noted on bedside telemetry. The nurse states these eẋtra beats occur
approẋimately every 6 normal beats and has an inverted p wave located after the narrow
QRS compleẋ which appears otherwise identical to the normal sinus rhythm QRS
compleẋ. What is this nurse likely describing?
Premature Junctional
Contractions Premature Atrial
Contractions Sinus Eẋit Block
Premature Ventricular Contractions
Sinus eẋit block does have a pause, but no change in P wave morphology. PACs will maintain an
early but otherwise normal P wave/QRS. PJCs will have absent, inverted or retrograde P
waves(after the QRS) and be otherwise narrow compleẋ QRS. PVCs will be absent of any P wave
and have a wide compleẋ QRS.
Question 6
pts
Effective long-term treatment of systolic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
should include which of the following?
Prescribing 500 ml fluid bolus for hypotension
Prescribing valsartan/sacubitril (Entresto) unless contraindicated on discharge
Prescribing midazolam to aid with air hunger
Auscultating lung sounds for rhonchi
Angiotensin Receptor and Neprilysin Inhibition is considered goal-directed therapy for patients
with reduced systolic heart function as evidence by the PARAGON-HF Trial. Auscultation is an
assessment item, not a treatment. Midazolam does not have any long term benefit for heart
, failure. Fluid bolus in a patient with likely fluid overload from systolic heart failure only worsen
their presenting symptoms.
