1. what should an NP suspect if patient started on ACE/ARB develops new
increased creatinine (>0.5-1): renal artery stenosis
2. what condition should NP suspect in patient with chronic low potassium: pri-
mary aldosteronism
3. most common electrolyte disturbances in CKD: low sodium, high potassium
4. what side effects should be watched for in thiazide use: postural hypotension
BUN Cr ratio >20
hyponatremia
5. at what eGFR should thiazide diuretic stopped because it is not effective: <30
6. which beta blocker is ok to use in asthma/COPD: metoprolol (not non-cardioselective like
propanolol/nadolol)
7. examples of alpha-beta adrenergic antagonist: carvedilol, labetalol (blocks b1, b2, alpha 1)
8. major side effect of calcium channel blocker: ankle edema d/t venous dilation
9. which antihypertensive meds have modest negative inotropic properties: CCB
10. Common SE of spironolactone: Gynecomastia and hyperkalemia, lower libido, ED
11. ecg findings of LVH: high R waves, deep s waves
12. what are the four groups of concussion symptoms categories: somatic, cognitive,
affective, sleep

16. when to recheck TSH after initiating levothyroxine: 6-8 or 8-12 weeks
17. what medications should not be taken within two hours of levothyroxine: -
calcium, iron, aluminum, magnesium,
18. what is one of the first medication to start for someone with hyperthyroid: -
non-selective beta blocker (propanolol, nadolol)
19. what is a black box warning associated with methimazole and PTU: acute hepatic
failure
20. toxic adenoma: Benign, metabolically active thyroid nodule (no exopthalmus)
21. thyroiditis: transient inflammation of thyroid, related to viral/autoimmune, postpartum, drug-induced
22. signs of thyroiditis: painful throat (at base of neck that radiates to ears). tender thyroid
23. Subclinical hypothyroidism: Mildly Elevated TSH, normal T4
