NR 547 CEA EXAM 2026 – CHAMBERLAIN UNIVERSITY COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
300 RANDOMIZED QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS AND RATIONALES
1. A 64-year-old patient with hypertension presents with exertional chest pain relieved by rest. Which
finding most strongly supports a diagnosis of stable angina?
A) ST elevation on ECG
B) Chest pain lasting longer than 30 minutes
C) Pain precipitated by exertion and relieved by nitroglycerin
D) Elevated troponin levels
, Page 2 of 193
Answer: C Stable angina is characterized by predictable chest pain triggered by exertion or stress and
relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. ST elevation and elevated troponins suggest myocardial infarction rather
than stable angina.
2. A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has pursed-lip breathing and prolonged
expiration. These findings primarily indicate:
A) Increased airway resistance
B) Reduced lung compliance
C) Impaired gas diffusion
D) Decreased tidal volume
Answer: A Pursed-lip breathing helps prevent airway collapse and reduces air trapping caused by
increased airway resistance, a hallmark of obstructive lung disease.

3. A patient reports epigastric pain that improves with meals. Which condition is most likely?
A) Gastric ulcer
B) Duodenal ulcer
C) Acute pancreatitis
D) Cholelithiasis
Answer: B Duodenal ulcer pain typically improves with food, whereas gastric ulcer pain worsens after
eating due to the direct contact of food with the gastric lesion.
4. Which hormone is primarily responsible for lowering blood glucose levels?
A) Glucagon
B) Cortisol
C) Insulin
D) Epinephrine
, Page 4 of 193
Answer: C Insulin promotes glucose uptake into cells and decreases blood glucose levels, making it the
primary hormone for glucose regulation.
5. A patient presents with unilateral facial droop and inability to close one eye. These findings are most
consistent with:
A) Stroke
B) Trigeminal neuralgia
C) Bell's palsy
D) Myasthenia gravis
Answer: C Bell's palsy involves acute unilateral facial nerve paralysis affecting the entire side of the face,
including the inability to close the eye on the affected side.
6. Which symptom is most consistent with hypothyroidism?
A) Heat intolerance
