● Question 1

existing patients, a 49- points
year-old woman named Sheri. Sheri reports that her father, a 78-
year-old man wholives alone, has always been in good health.
However, when Sheri went to have breakfast with him this past
Sunday, she found her father overtly confused and he did not

Alzheimer’s disease, and she is amazed because two days prior
he was “completely fine.” The PMHNP knows that the most likely

(a) i e acute nature of this mental status change without any
s preexisting conditions or deficits is consistent with
th infection, most likely of the urinary tract. This is not mild
e cognitive impairment as his current symptoms clearly
cor interfere with ADLs. Normal pressure hydrocephalus is
rec remotely possible but much less likely. Depression may
t mimic dementia, but the acute and global nature of this
an presentation is more consistent with delirium.

● Question 2


Becci is a 31-year-old female who presents to the PMHNP for
evaluation after being referred by her friend who is a patient of
the practice. She describes a relatively acute, recent onset of
panic attacks. Becci says that “out of the blue”her heart starts
to race, her mouth gets dry, she gets shaky, and feels like she
cannot get her breath. She is afraid because her friend has
panic disorder and Becci knows that before her friend got
treatment, she basically would not leave
the house in case an attack happened. The PMHNP recognizes
that the immediatepriority in assessment for Becci is:

Selected
Answer: A thorough physical examination
Answers:
A thorough physical
examination A family
history of mental health
disease
A urine drug screen
An assessment for
phobic disorder


Respo (a)is the correct answer. While these are elements of a
nse panic attack, there are a variety of organic conditions
Feedba that can cause these symptoms. Becci needs a physical
ck examination and appropriate laboratory assessment to
: rule out physiologic causes of her symptoms,such as
thyroid disease. The remaining elements above will all
be part of the mental health assessment once physical
health is determined.


● Question 3

Mrs. Bowen is a 33-year-old female who presents as a new points
patient requesting

articulate in describing her history and reports that neither
sertraline nor fluoxetine “worked for her.” She was unable to
remember the dose or how long she took the medication. With
respect to considering Mrs. Bowen’s medication history, the
PMHNP knows that:



Selected
Answer: Some forms of recurrent depression are best
managed withnonpharmacologic strategies
Answers: An SNRI will likely be the most
appropriate choice ifpharmacotherapy is
indicated for this episode


This may be an inaccurate characterization, as
depressed patientstend to overemphasize negatives
In some circumstances patients will purposefully
mischaracterize theefficacy of medications they feel
were ineffective
Some forms of recurrent depression are best managed
with nonpharmacologic strategies


Respo (b)is the correct answer. A common mistake among
ns e clinicians is to accept the depressed patient’s self-report
Feedb of medication accuracy. Depressed patients frequently
ack overemphasize the negative and minimize the positive
: and may genuinely have a misimpression of their
medications effectiveness; similarly, unrealistic
