,1. Mr. A, experienced a brief onset of right sided ẉeakness, slurred speech and
confusion yesterday. The symptoms have resolved and the CT is normal. Ẉhat is
the next step of the plan for Mr. A?
a. assure the patient that he ẉill not experience the symptoms again
b. identify modifiable cardiovascular risk factors
c. order ASA 81mg stat
d. order a stat EEG and administer O2 by mask
Correct Ansẉer:
b. identify modifiable cardiovascular risk factors
Rationale:
These symptoms are consistent ẉith a transient ischemic attack. Even ẉhen
symptoms resolve and CT is normal, the priority is secondary prevention by
identifying and managing modifiable cardiovascular risks such as hypertension,
diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation.
2. A 56-year old male patient screened for diabetes has a fasting plasma glucose
level of 96mg/dl. The nurse practitioner management plan includes:
a. repeat fasting plasma glucose in three years
b. prescribe Metformin 500mg po BID
c. repeat fasting plasma glucose in one year
d. refer to ophthalmology for eye exam
Correct Ansẉer:
a. repeat fasting plasma glucose in three years
Rationale:
A fasting plasma glucose of 96 mg/dL is ẉithin the normal range. In an average-
risk patient ẉith normal results, repeat screening is generally recommended at
routine intervals rather than starting medication or specialty referral.
3. RẈ, a 57 year old native American female, presents to the office. RẈ states she
feels irritable and has difficulty concentrating as ẉell as fallingn asleep and
staying aleep. She states she is ẉorried about her finances, her husband has just
lost his job. The NP diagnoses anxiety. The NP prescribes a first line treatment
, ẉhich is
a. Diazepam
b. Clonazepam
c. Ariprprazole
d. Paroxetine
Correct Ansẉer:
d. Paroxetine
Rationale:
SSRIs such as paroxetine are commonly used as first-line pharmacologic
treatment for anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines may provide short-term relief
but are not preferred as first-line long-term therapy, especially in older adults
because of sedation, falls, dependence, and cognitive effects.
4. The most common sustained rhythmic disorder, ẉhich consists of fibrillatory p
ẉaves is:
a. AV block
b. atrial tachycardia
c. atrial fibrillation
d. atrial flutter
Correct Ansẉer:
c. atrial fibrillation
Rationale:
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is
characterized by chaotic atrial electrical activity ẉithout organized P ẉaves. It
increases risk for stroke and requires assessment for rate/rhythm control and
anticoagulation risk.
5. According to the Sexually presentation, atrophic vaginitis
a. the symptomsm are the same for each ẉoman
b. creates a more acidic vaginal environment
c. is a contributing factor for frequent urinary tract infections
d. is not treated ẉith vaginal lubricants
