Verified Answers | Chamberlain FNP Exit Exam Prep
1. The nurse understands that an anaphylactic reaction is considered which
of the following types of hypersensitivity reactions?
Type IV
Type III
Type II
Type I
2. A 60-year-old patient with BPH is experiencing significant urinary
retention. Considering the pharmacological options, which treatment
would be most appropriate to initiate for immediate symptom relief?
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
Alpha-blockers
Surgical intervention
Anticholinergics
3. Why is the evaluation of deformities important during a secondary
survey in trauma patients?
Deformities do not affect treatment decisions.
Deformities can indicate underlying injuries that may require
immediate intervention.
Deformities are less critical than airway assessment.
Deformities are only assessed in patients with visible injuries.
,4. If a geriatric patient with similar symptoms is diagnosed with multiple
myeloma, what would be an important aspect of their management
plan?
Immediate surgical intervention for osteoporosis.
Monitoring for renal function and potential complications from
treatment.
Administering antibiotics for potential infections without further
evaluation.
Focusing solely on pain management without further testing.
5. What is the diagnosis indicated by hematuria and RBC casts in urine?
Nephrotic syndrome
Pyelonephritis
Acute tubular necrosis
Glomerulonephritis
6. A patient with gout is experiencing frequent attacks despite taking
NSAIDs. How might the addition of Allopurinol affect their treatment
plan?
It will increase the effectiveness of NSAIDs.
It may reduce the frequency of gout attacks by lowering uric
acid levels.
It will prevent the formation of kidney stones.
It will provide immediate pain relief during an attack.
7. A patient presents with painful, fluid-filled blisters on one side of their
mouth. Based on this presentation, what is the most likely diagnosis?
Herpes simplex virus infection
, Contact dermatitis
Impetigo
Bilateral dermatomal herpes zoster
8. A 70-year-old patient presents to your clinic with an insidious onset of
bilateral leg pain. He reports that his symptoms become severe with
ambulation (symptoms reduce somewhat when he is leaning on a cart at
the grocery store) and with standing. He states that his symptoms
abolish with sitting and with bending. The most appropriate differential
diagnosis for this patient is:
Spondylolisthesis
Spinal Stenosis
Muscle Strain
Herniated nucleus pulposus
9. Why might ferrous sulfate be ineffective for a patient who has
undergone gastric bypass surgery?
Ferrous sulfate is only effective in younger patients.
The absorption of iron may be significantly reduced due to
altered gastrointestinal anatomy.
Ferrous sulfate is contraindicated in patients with ulcerative
colitis.
Ferrous sulfate is not suitable for pregnant women.
10. Which condition is characterized by progressive muscular weakness
and can be excluded based on the provided scenario?
Multiple Sclerosis
Myasthenia Gravis
, Anterior cord syndrome
Descending Guillain-Barre
11. A patient has had repeat attacks of gout over a one-to two-year period.
Which medication should the nurse practitioner choose for long-term
treatment for this patient?
ibuprofen (Motrin)
hydrocortisone (Cortef)
colchicine (Colcrys)
allopurinol (Zyloprim)
12. A patient presents with similar symptoms of painless lymph node
swelling and weight loss but has a history of autoimmune disease. How
would this influence your choice of diagnostic intervention?
You would order imaging studies instead of a biopsy due to the
autoimmune history.
You would perform a physical examination and monitor
symptoms before deciding on a biopsy.
You would consult with a rheumatologist before proceeding
with any biopsy.
You would still order a core needle biopsy to confirm
lymphoma, as it is the definitive test regardless of autoimmune
history.
You would prioritize a complete blood count (CBC) to assess
for other complications first.
13. Describe why a patient undergoing concurrent chemotherapy/radiation
treatment may develop aplastic anemia.
Concurrent treatment has no effect on blood cell production.
