stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system?
, 2
1. No overall effect
2. Increased sphincter tone
3. Increased peristalsis
4. Decreased secretions - Correct Answer - increased peristalsis

In pulmonary function testing, forced vital capacity represents the:
1. maximum volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after maximum inspiration.
2. total volume of air that is exhaled after normal inspiration.
3. total volume of air that the lungs can hold, minus the expiratory reserve volume.
4. volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled in 1 second. - Correct Answer - maximum
volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after maximum inspiration
An adult male presents as first patient of the day after awaking about 5:00 AM with
indigestion and chest pressure. On checking his pulse, he found no change from
previous measurements. He states that, while waiting for the nurse practitioner to arrive,
he began to feel a little clammy. A 12-lead EKG records the following patterns. On the
basis of these EKG readings, the diagnosis is:
1. anterior-septal acute myocardial infarction.
2. lateral acute myocardial infarction.
, 3
3. inferior acute myocardial infarction.
4. anterior acute myocardial infarction. - Correct Answer - inferior acute
myocardial infarction
During the past 24 hours, a 62-year-old has experienced abdominal pain that radiates to
the back. The patient also reports several episodes of nausea and vomiting, a lowgrade
temperature, and a history of excessive drinking. Physical examination reveals a

amylase, and serum lipase. The most likely diagnosis is:
1. alcoholic liver disease.
2. acute mesenteric ischemia.
3. viral hepatitis.
4. acute pancreatitis. - Correct Answer - acute pancreatitis
An otherwise healthy adult female presents complaining of vaginal burning and itching
during urination. She has a social history of two sexual partners. She denies fever or
vaginal discharge, but has noted a lesion on one labium. The nurse practitioner should
order all of the following EXCEPT:
1. wet mount and potassium hydroxide.
2. dark-field microscopy of fluid from the lesion.
3. nucleic acid amplification testing for gonorrhea.
4. serology for Haemophiles decry. - Correct Answer - dark-field microscopy of fluid
from lesion
What is specificity? - ANSWER - Specificity is defined as the ability of a test to detect a
person who is healthy (or without disease)
What is a cohort study? - ANSWER - A cohort study follows a group of people over time
who share some common characteristics to observe the development of a disease.
