deficiency anemia, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Heart valve disorders.
Subjective symptoms of GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)Heartburn, regurgitation, dysphagia, and chest pain.
Objective findings in a physical examination of uncomplicated GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)The physical
examination is usually normal, although there may be signs of esophagitis or other complications in
severe cases.
Pathophysiology of GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)GERD is caused by lower esophageal sphincter
dysfunction, hiatal hernia, and esophageal motility disorders leading to gastric acid flowing back into the
esophagus.
Treatment options for GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)Lifestyle modifications, medications (antacids, H2
receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, prokinetic agents), and surgery.
Warning signs of GERD for patients over 50 - (CORRECT ANSWER)Dysphagia, odynophagia, nausea and
vomiting, weight loss, melena, and early satiety.
Pathophysiology of appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Appendicitis involves obstruction of the lumen of
the appendix, leading to inflammation, infection, and potential perforation due to increased luminal
pressure and compromised blood flow.
1
,Common symptoms of appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Periumbilical pain, RLQ pain, fever and
leukocytosis, nausea, and vomiting.
Diagnostic tests for appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)WBC count greater than 10,000 cells/mm3 with
increased neutrophils, C-reactive protein, abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI.
Risks following an appendectomy - (CORRECT ANSWER)Increased risk of colon cancer among individuals
aged 50-74 years.
NP role in the treatment of GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)The NP evaluates the effectiveness of the
treatment.
Lifestyle modifications for GERD patients - (CORRECT ANSWER)Lifestyle modifications may include
dietary changes, weight management, and avoiding triggers.
Medications commonly used to treat GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)Antacids, H2 receptor antagonists,
proton pump inhibitors, and prokinetic agents.
Significance of esophageal motility disorders in GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)Impaired esophageal
peristalsis reduces esophageal clearance, leading to pooling of gastric acid.
Role of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in GERD - (CORRECT ANSWER)The LES dysfunction allows
gastric acid to flow back into the esophagus, contributing to GERD.
Potential complications of untreated appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Untreated appendicitis can lead
to perforation and systemic response.
Importance of C-reactive protein in diagnosing appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Increased C-reactive
protein indicates systemic inflammation associated with appendicitis.
2
, Typical pain pattern associated with appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Pain typically starts as
periumbilical pain and later localizes to the right lower quadrant (RLQ).
Role of imaging in diagnosing appendicitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Imaging such as abdominal ultrasound,
CT scan, and MRI are used to confirm the diagnosis of appendicitis.
Major risk factor for GERD associated with Hiatal Hernia - (CORRECT ANSWER)Diaphragmatic weakness.
Contributing factors to Hiatal Hernia - (CORRECT ANSWER)Aging, obesity, pregnancy, increased intra-
abdominal pressure (chronic coughing or Valsalva maneuver), and structural abnormalities of the
diaphragm.
Hiatal Hernia - (CORRECT ANSWER)A condition caused by aging, obesity, pregnancy, increased intra-
abdominal pressure (chronic coughing or Valsalva maneuver), and structural abnormalities of the
diaphragm.
Lifestyle modification for Hiatal Hernia - (CORRECT ANSWER)Eating small, frequent meals.
Medications for Hiatal Hernia - (CORRECT ANSWER)Antacids, H2 receptor blockers, proton pump
inhibitors, and prokinetic agents.
Primary cause of Duodenal Ulcer - (CORRECT ANSWER)H. pylori infection.
Aggressive factors in Duodenal Ulcer - (CORRECT ANSWER)Gastric acid, pepsin, H. pylori, and NSAIDs.
Defensive factors against Duodenal Ulcer - (CORRECT ANSWER)Mucus-bicarbonate layer,
prostaglandins, and cellular repair mechanisms.
