1. A patient with hypertension is started on lisinopril. Which instruction is most important for the ambulatory care nurse
to provide?
A) "Take this medication with food to avoid stomach upset."
B) "Avoid salt substitutes containing potassium."
C) "You may experience a persistent, non-productive cough that is benign."
D) "Take this medication at bedtime to avoid dizziness."
Answer: B
Rationale: ACE inhibitors like lisinopril can cause hyperkalemia. Using potassium-based salt substitutes significantly
increases this risk. While a cough (C) is a common side effect, it can be bothersome enough to require a medication
change, so it's not the most critical safety instruction. Hyperkalemia can be life-threatening.
,2. The nurse is triaging a 28-year-old patient via phone who reports a sudden onset of sharp right lower quadrant
abdominal pain, nausea, and low-grade fever. What is the most appropriate action?
A) Schedule an appointment for the next day.
B) Advise the patient to take an antacid and recline.
C) Instruct the patient to go to the emergency department immediately.
D) Recommend a clear liquid diet for 24 hours.
Answer: C
Rationale: The classic triad of symptoms (acute RLQ pain, nausea, low-grade fever) is highly suspicious for acute
appendicitis. Delaying care risks perforation and peritonitis, a surgical emergency requiring immediate evaluation.
3. During a well-woman exam, a 52-year-old patient asks how often she needs a Pap smear and HPV co-testing. Her last
three tests were normal. What is the correct guideline-based response?
A) Every year
B) Every 3 years
C) Every 5 years
D) She no longer needs screening.
Answer: C
, Rationale: Current guidelines (ASCCP/ACS) recommend Pap smear with HPV co-testing every 5 years for women aged 30-
65, provided results remain normal. Screening every 3 years is for Pap smear alone.
4. Which patient in a primary care waiting room should the nurse see first?
A) A 45-year-old with chronic low back pain radiating to the left leg.
B) A 60-year-old with a history of COPD and an oxygen saturation of 91% on room air.
C) A 72-year-old with a history of heart failure reporting a 3-pound weight gain in 24 hours and new dyspnea.
D) A 30-year-old with erythema and swelling around a bug bite on the forearm.
Answer: C
Rationale: Sudden weight gain (3 lbs in 24 hours) and new dyspnea in a heart failure patient suggest acute
decompensation. This requires immediate assessment and intervention, making it the highest priority over stable chronic
conditions or localized reactions.
5. The nurse is educating a patient newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement by the patient indicates a need
for further teaching regarding foot care?
A) "I will use a mirror to inspect the bottoms of my feet daily."
B) "I should file my toenails straight across with an emery board."
C) "A heating pad set on low is a good way to warm my feet if they are cold."
