APEA Predictor Exam
1. The NP is counseling a 25 years old sexually active male patient
about condom use, which of the following statement is INCORRECT
Multiple-Choice
• a. Adequate lubrication is needed to prevent damage to the
condom
• b. Roll the condom over an erect penis before any sexual contact
• c. Make sure the condom is tight against the head of the penis
• d. Withdraw while the penis is erect, so that the condom stays in
place
Correct Answer: c. Make sure the condom is tight against the head of
the penis
,Expert Explanation:
A condom should fit snugly on the shaft, but the tip should have space
(a reservoir) to collect semen and reduce breakage. You also pinch the
tip while rolling it down to remove air. Adequate lubrication, putting it
on before any genital contact, and withdrawing while still erect
(holding the base) are correct best practices.

Screening Test is most accurate?
Multiple-Choice
• a. Applicable to children from birth to 2 years; evaluates four
major categories of development: motor, intellectual, emotional,
and language to determine whether a child is within normal range
for various behaviors or is developmentally delayed
• b. Applicable to children from birth to 5 years; evaluates four
major categories of development: motor, vision, hearing and
psychosocial to determine whether a child is normal or
developmentally compromised
• d. Applicable to children from birth to 6 years; evaluates four
major categories of development: gross motor, fine motor-
adaptive, language, and personal social to determine whether a
, child is within normal range for behaviors or is developmentally
delayed.
Correct Answer: d. Applicable to children from birth to 6 years;
evaluates four major categories of development: gross motor, fine
motor-adaptive, language, and personal social to determine whether
a child is within normal range for behaviors or is developmentally
delayed.
Expert Explanation:
The Denver II screens children from birth through 6 years across gross
motor, fine motor-adaptive, language, and personal-social domains
to identify possible developmental delay and determine if further
evaluation is needed.
