Your nurse practitioner student asks you to help him clarify the different types
of
diuretics. As an example, you present to him that the use of Ted stockings for
patients
with lower extremity edema is an example of which type of diuresis?
A. pressure diuresis
B. osmotic diuresis
C. loop diaphoresis
D. constrictive diuresis
A. pressure diuresis
Rationale: Pressure diuresis-refers to the reduction of edema by applying
external
,pressure to the tissues, which helps to decrease swelling and promote fluid
return to
the bloodstream.
The nurse practitioner assessing the patient with a rapid cardiac rhythm may
assess for
a pulse deficit by auscultating the patient's heart while watching the EKG
rhythm.
Where would the S1 heart sound correlate with the electrocardiogram wave
question
A. at the end of the T wave
B. peak of the R wave
C. at the start of the P wave
D. at the start of the T wave.
B. peak of the R wave
Rationale: The S1 heart sound is primarily caused by the closure of the
atrioventricular
(AV) valves (mitral and tricuspid) at the beginning of ventricular systole. This
occurs just
after the ventricles depolarize, which is represented by the R wave on the EKG
The point of maximum impulse is most often palpable in healthy adults when
positioned
in the supine or left lateral decubitus position. Which one of the following
locations is
most commonly described as the PMI in a healthy adult?
A. left second intercostal space, maxillary line
B. right 4th intercostal space midaxillary line
,C. left 5th intercostal space midclavicular line
D. right second intercostal space midclavicular line.
C. left 5th intercostal space midclavicular line
Rationale: The PMI is typically felt at the left 5th intercostal space in the
midclavicular
line due to the position of the heart in the thoracic cavity, where the left
ventricle is
closest to the chest wall.
Your patient has a diagnosis of Addison's disease which of the following might
you
expect to find during examination? (This was asking about Cushings)
A. low body temperature
B. abdominal striae
C. dowager hump
D. moon phase
A. low body temperature
Rationale: Addison's disease can lead to adrenal insufficiency, which may result
in a range of symptoms, including hypothermia due to the lack of cortisol and
aldosterone.
, Your patient with a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis is being seen in your
clinic for
routine liver serology and follow up examination which of the following
correctly
identifies the normal level span when percussing the liver of a healthy adult?
A. 6 to 12 centimeters in the mid sternum line
B. 4 to 8 centimeters in the right midclavicular line
C. 6 to 12 centimeters in the right midclavicular line
D. 4 to 8 in the left mid midclavicular line.
C. 6 to 12 centimeters in the right midclavicular line
Rationale: The normal span of the liver, as determined by percussion, is
generally
measured from the lower border of dullness (where liver tissue is present) to the
upper border of dullness, which is typically in the right midclavicular line. The
expected span is approximately 6 to 12 centimeters.
A 33-year-old male patient presents with complaints of abdominal pain after a
recent
birthday party where other guests also suspected foodborne illness and
gastroenteritis
period to elicit the most accurate evaluation of this patient which is the order of
assessment which should be done for the abdomen?
A. percuss auscultation palpation inspection
B. inspection auscultation palpation percussion
C. auscultation palpation percussion inspection
