exam reveals positive Finklesteins test. What is the likely diagnosis?

Trigger Finger
Ganglian cyst
2. Describe the significance of a midsystolic click in relation to mitral valve
conditions.
A midsystolic click is unrelated to any mitral valve condition.
A midsystolic click is often associated with mitral valve prolapse due
to the abnormal movement of the valve leaflets.
A midsystolic click indicates aortic stenosis and is due to the
narrowing of the aortic valve.
A midsystolic click is a sign of mitral stenosis caused by thickening of
the valve leaflets.
3. A 37 y/o has routine blood work performed during an annual exam. he is
found to have elevated liver enzymes. on exam he has a tender, enlarged
liver. how should the NP proceed?
order a CBC
have the pt return in one week for recheck
order a hepatitis panel
, repeat the liver enzymes today

ago, when should they schedule their next colonoscopy?
annually
1-3 years
5 years

6. Which fluoroquinolone is specifically indicated for treating respiratory
infections?

7. Why is it important to inquire about a patient's antibiotic use in the past three
months when assessing a urinary tract infection?
To determine potential antibiotic resistance and appropriate
treatment options

osteomylitis
a normal reading
osteopenia
osteoporosis
9. Why would a Complete Blood Count (CBC) be relevant for a patient
presenting with pinpoint non-blanching spots?

13. Describe the relationship between rheumatic fever and mitral stenosis in
terms of heart valve pathology.
Rheumatic fever can lead to inflammation and scarring of the mitral
valve, resulting in mitral stenosis.
Mitral stenosis is unrelated to rheumatic fever.
Rheumatic fever only affects the aortic valve.
Rheumatic fever causes aortic regurgitation, not mitral stenosis.
