Questions & Verified Answers
1. A 45-year-old male presents with a chief complaint of a persistent cough, night sweats,
and a weight loss of 15 lbs over the last two months. His PPD test is positive at 12mm
induration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
A. Order a chest X-ray to evaluate for active pulmonary disease
B. Start immediate treatment for Latent TB with Isoniazid
C. Repeat the PPD test in two weeks to confirm the result
D. Administer the BCG vaccine to prevent further progression
Answer: A
Rationale: In a symptomatic patient with a positive PPD, the next step is to rule out active tuberculosis
via chest radiography and sputum cultures before initiating treatment. Exam questions often test
whether you can pick the most practical and safe choice for the client in real situations. Focus on what
the nurse can actually do right now. In practice, this guides the nurse to set priorities and protect the
client from harm. Safety, nutrition, and clear communication are frequent priorities.
2. A 68-year-old female with a history of hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes presents with a
sudden onset of ‘the worst headache of my life.’ Which diagnostic study should be
performed first?
A. Non-contrast CT scan of the head
B. MRI of the brain with contrast
C. Lumbar puncture
D. Carotid ultrasound
Answer: A
Rationale: A ‘thunderclap’ headache is highly suggestive of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A
non-contrast CT is the initial imaging of choice due to its high sensitivity for acute blood. Understanding
this helps the nurse notice early warning signs and act before the problem gets worse. Early action
often prevents bigger complications for the client. This is important because the nurse must choose the
action that keeps the client safest while still meeting their basic needs. Always think about safety first
when answering these questions.

3. Which of the following physical exam findings is most characteristic of Aortic Stenosis?
A. High-pitched blowing diastolic murmur at the left sternal border
B. Mid-systolic click followed by a late systolic murmur
C. Holosystolic murmur at the apex radiating to the axilla
D. Harsh systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur radiating to the carotids
Answer: D
Rationale: Aortic stenosis presents as a harsh systolic ejection murmur heard best at the right second
intercostal space, radiating to the neck/carotids. Exam questions often test whether you can pick the
most practical and safe choice for the client in real situations. Focus on what the nurse can actually do
right now. Remembering this point will help you decide the best nursing action when similar questions
appear on the exam. Link the answer to the client’s current condition and risk level.
4. A 24-year-old female presents for a follow-up on her asthma. She reports using her
albuterol inhaler 4 times per week and waking up 3 times per month due to shortness of
breath. According to GINA/NHLBI guidelines, what is her asthma classification?
A. Intermittent
B. Severe Persistent
C. Moderate Persistent
D. Mild Persistent
Answer: D
Rationale: Mild persistent asthma is characterized by symptoms more than twice a week but not daily,
and nighttime awakenings 3-4 times per month. Knowing the reason behind the correct answer makes
it easier to rule out the wrong options quickly. Look for the choice that protects the client and matches
the priority need. Understanding this helps the nurse notice early warning signs and act before the
problem gets worse. Early action often prevents bigger complications for the client.
