This 38-page FNP 652 exam review contains 100+ questions with answers covering high-yield family nurse practitioner primary care topics across gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, genitourinary, renal, pediatric, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and preventive care. The material uses clinical scenarios to test diagnostic reasoning, appropriate workup, first-line management, referral decisions, medication selection, screening recommendations, and recognition of potentially serious conditions. The gastrointestinal and preventive-care section covers appendicitis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis, colorectal cancer screening, GERD and indications for endoscopy, pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, and treatment of travelers' diarrhea. Questions emphasize recognizing classic clinical presentations and selecting appropriate diagnostic studies, referral, or initial treatment. The cardiovascular and vascular material includes heart murmurs, hypertension evaluation, peripheral arterial disease, ankle-brachial index testing, claudication management, cardiovascular risk associated with erectile dysfunction, carotid bruits, abdominal aortic aneurysm surveillance, and stroke-prevention strategies. The review also addresses clinical findings that should prompt additional cardiovascular evaluation. The genitourinary and renal section covers nephrolithiasis, prostate cancer screening concerns, varicocele, hydrocele assessment, phimosis, urinary incontinence, post-void residual interpretation, chronic kidney disease monitoring, urinary tract infection during pregnancy, gonococcal arthritis testing, and renal complications following streptococcal infection. Pediatric renal topics include nephrotic syndrome and Henoch-Schönlein purpura. The pediatric primary-care content addresses dehydration, atypical pneumonia, developmental musculoskeletal conditions, developmental hip dysplasia, nursemaid's elbow, clavicle fractures, scoliosis screening, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Blount disease, metatarsus adductus, Salter-Harris fractures, nephrotic syndrome, and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Many questions require the student to determine whether conservative management, urgent referral, imaging, or specialist evaluation is appropriate. The musculoskeletal and orthopedic section includes bursitis, lateral and medial epicondylitis, gout, pseudogout, osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar radiculopathy, low-back pain, ankle sprains, wrist tendonitis, and fall-related injuries in older adults. Questions cover risk factors, characteristic examination findings, diagnostic testing, conservative treatment, pharmacologic therapy, surgical indications, and expected recovery. The review also incorporates respiratory and chronic-disease management, including exercise-induced asthma, escalation from rescue SABA therapy to inhaled corticosteroids, acute asthma management, peak-flow interpretation, and recognition of atypical pneumonia. Additional primary-care concepts include statin eligibility, pregnancy-related evaluation, medication adverse effects, and screening or monitoring recommendations. Reference context: The uploaded document is identified as FNP, with copyright information indicating 2025/2026 and publication in 2026. It does not specify a university, institution, or official course title beyond the FNP 652 course identifier, so no university has been invented for the title. The material should be cross-referenced with current evidence-based clinical guidelines, USPSTF recommendations, CDC guidance, specialty-society guidelines, and current pharmacology references because screening recommendations, treatment thresholds, and medication guidance may change. Relevant students: This document is particularly relevant to Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) students enrolled in FNP 652, graduate nursing students preparing for primary-care examinations, APRN students, and learners reviewing adult and pediatric primary-care diagnosis and management. It is especially useful for students studying gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease, renal and genitourinary conditions, pediatric complaints, respiratory disease, orthopedic conditions, preventive screening, pharmacologic treatment, diagnostic testing, and clinical referral decisions.
