1. What is the primary consequence of G6PD deficiency?
Hemolytic anemia
Thalassemia
Iron deficiency anemia
Sickle cell disease
2. A patient presents to the clinic for balance problems and fall risk. After
gathering the patient's subjective information, you instruct them to stand up
so you can assess their functional mobility. After about 6 minutes of
standing, the patient verbally tells you that it feels like their heart is racing
and they are starting to become lightheaded. After sitting the patient down,
you ask how long they have been feeling this way and tell you they have felt
this way since January of this year. Based on this information, you believe
the patient is experiencing what clinical syndrome and what is the most
appropriate way to treat it?
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), aerobic
exercise and strengthening training of the lower extremities and
core muscles
Orthostatic Hypotension, using a tilt table to acclimate the patient's
blood pressure to an upright position
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), using a tilt table
to acclimate the patient to full upright standing
Orthostatic Hypotension, treating with medications to control the
patient's blood pressure
,3. What are the first-line medications used for treating tuberculosis in
pregnant patients?
Amoxicillin and Azithromycin
Isoniazid (INH), Rifampin, and Ethambutol
Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin
Vancomycin and Clindamycin
4. Describe the role of Klonopin in the management of panic attacks.
Klonopin (Clonazepam) is an antidepressant used to treat chronic
depression.
Klonopin (Clonazepam) is a stimulant that increases energy levels
during panic attacks.
Klonopin (Clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine that helps reduce
anxiety symptoms associated with panic attacks.
Klonopin (Clonazepam) is an antipsychotic used to manage severe
mood swings.
5. If a patient diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma presents with new
symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pain, what should be the
immediate clinical consideration?
Initiate treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Evaluate for potential metastasis or complications related to the
cancer.
Assess for anxiety as the primary cause of shortness of breath.
Consider a diagnosis of pneumonia due to recent smoking history.
,6. Describe the significance of the tilt test in diagnosing postural orthostatic
tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
The tilt test is significant in diagnosing POTS as it helps to assess
the heart rate response to changes in posture.
The tilt test evaluates lung function.
The tilt test is primarily for diagnosing hypertension.
The tilt test is used to measure blood pressure only.
7. The mother of a newborn infant states that her baby has white plaques on
the buccal mucosa, tongue, and pharynx. These plaques do not scrape off
easily and bleed when they are removed. You diagnose the baby with
Thrush (Candidiasis). What would your education include?
Administer the antifungal medication after feedings, treat the
mother's breast nipples with antifungals, and sterilize any bottle
nipples or pacifiers after each use.
This is a self-limiting illness that should resolve in 2 days
Put magic mouthwash in the baby's mouth. Have the baby hold it in
the mouth for 2 minutes, then turn the baby over to let the
mouthwash drain out.
Antibiotics will be required
8. Describe how Flomax functions in the treatment of Benign Prostatic
Hyperplasia (BPH).
Flomax relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to
improve urine flow.
Flomax acts as a diuretic to reduce fluid retention.
Flomax shrinks the prostate gland to reduce urinary symptoms.
, Flomax increases testosterone levels to alleviate BPH symptoms.
9. Describe what an ejection fraction percentage of 50-54% indicates about
heart function.
It indicates preserved heart function.
It indicates normal heart function.
It indicates severe heart dysfunction.
It indicates reduced heart function.
10. Describe the role of inhaled corticosteroids in the management of asthma
in pediatric patients.
Inhaled corticosteroids act as bronchodilators to open the airways.
Inhaled corticosteroids reduce inflammation in the airways,
helping to control asthma symptoms.
Inhaled corticosteroids are used to treat bacterial infections in the
lungs.
Inhaled corticosteroids are primarily used for immediate relief of
asthma attacks.
11. If a patient presents with low serum calcium levels, what potential
dysfunction might be indicated regarding the parathyroid glands?
Hyperparathyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism
Thyroid dysfunction
Adrenal insufficiency
