,Question 1 o




While obtaining a history of a 3-month-old infant from the mother, the nurse practitioner
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o asks about the baby's ability to suck and grasp the mother's finger. What is the nurse
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o practitioner assessing? o




A) Heart Rate o




B) Reflexes

C) Blood Pressure o




D) Color

Correct Answer: B) Reflexeso o o




Rationale: Sucking and grasping are primitive reflexes present in newborns and young
o o o o o o o o o o o




o infants. These are neurologic assessments used to evaluate the integrity of the infant's
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o central nervous system and developmental progression. They are not assessments of
o o o o o o o o o o




o heart rate, blood pressure, or color.
o o o o o




Question 2 o




A female patient is 8-months-pregnant. She comments that she has noticed a change in
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o posture and is having lower back pain. The nurse tells her that during pregnancy women
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o have a posture shift to compensate for the enlarging fetus. This shift in posture is:
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

, A) ptosis

B) lordosis

C) kyphosis

D) scoliosis

Correct Answer: B) lordosis o o o




Rationale: Lordosis is the inward curvature of the lumbar spine. During pregnancy, the
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o enlarging uterus shifts the center of gravity forward, causing the mother to lean
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o backward to compensate, which increases the lumbar lordotic curve and often results in
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o lower back pain. Ptosis is drooping of an organ (e.g., eyelid). Kyphosis is an exaggerated
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o outward curvature of the thoracic spine (hunchback). Scoliosis is a lateral (sideways)
o o o o o o o o o o o




o curvature of the spine. o o o




Question 3 o




A 2 year old boy has been diagnosed with "physiologic cryptorchidism." Given this
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o diagnosis, during assessment the nurse will most likely observe:
o o o o o o o o




A) An absence of the testis in the scrotum, but the testis can be milked down
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




B) "I understand that it is hard to feel different from your friends. Breasts
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o usually develop between 8 and 10 years of age"
o o o o o o o o




C) Have the patient complete a food diary for 3 day = 2 weekdays + 2 weekend day.
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




D) BSE on a monthly basis will help you feel familiar with your own breasts and
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o their normal variations"
o o




Correct Answer: A) An absence of the testis in the scrotum, but the testis can be
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o milked down o




Rationale: Physiologic cryptorchidism (retractile testes) is a common condition in young
o o o o o o o o o o




o boys where the testis is not palpated in the scrotum at rest due to an overactive
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o cremasteric reflex, but it can be manually manipulated (milked) down into the scrotum. It
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o is benign and typically resolves by puberty. The other options are distractors from other
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o questions.

, Question 4 o




Which of the following statements is true regarding the arterial system?
o o o o o o o o o o




A) The arterial system is a high-pressure system
o o o o o o




B) The arterial system carries deoxygenated blood
o o o o o




C) The arterial system is primarily for nutrient exchange
o o o o o o o




D) The arterial system is a low-pressure system
o o o o o o




Correct Answer: A) The arterial system is a high-pressure system
o o o o o o o o o




Rationale: The arterial system is a high-pressure system designed to deliver oxygenated
o o o o o o o o o o o




o blood from the heart to the tissues. The venous system is a low-pressure system.
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




Nutrient exchange occurs at the capillary level. The pulmonary artery is the only artery
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o that carries deoxygenated blood (to the lungs), but this is a specific exception, not a
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o general statement about the arterial system.
o o o o o




Question 5 o




Which of the following is considered a normal and expected finding when the nurse
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




o practitioner is performing a physical examination on a pregnant woman?
o o o o o o o o o




A) Pale, hypertrophied mucous membranes of the mouth
o o o o o o




B) Pale mucous membranes of the mouth
o o o o o




C) A palpable, full thyroid
o o o




D) Significant diffuse enlargement of the thyroid o o o o o




Correct Answer: C) A palpable, full thyroid
o o o o o o




Rationale: During pregnancy, increased blood volume and hormonal changes (increased
o o o o o o o o o




o estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin) can cause a mild, diffuse, and palpable
o o o o o o o o o o o




o enlargement of the thyroid gland. This is a normal physiologic adaptation. Pale mucous
o o o o o o o o o o o o




o membranes suggest anemia, which is not normal. Significant diffuse enlargement
o o o o o o o o o




(goiter) would require further evaluation.
