Question 1
A 58-year-old man presents to the clinic for a routine examination. He has a history of obesity,
hypertension, and a 30-pack-year smoking history. He reports feeling well and denies any current
symptoms. His blood pressure is 146/92 mm Hg, BMI is 33 kg/m², and fasting blood glucose is 112
mg/dL. The nurse practitioner discusses interventions that could reduce his future risk of cardiovascular
disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease.
Which of the following interventions represents the most effective primary prevention strategy for this
patient?
A. Annual chest radiography
B. Smoking cessation counseling
C. Echocardiography every year
D. Routine stress testing
Answer: B. Smoking cessation counseling
Rationale: Smoking cessation is one of the most impactful primary prevention measures available. It
reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, COPD, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and multiple
cancers. The other options are screening or diagnostic interventions and do not provide the same
preventive benefit as eliminating tobacco use.
Question 2
A 47-year-old woman presents for a wellness examination. She has a sedentary lifestyle and a BMI of 31
kg/m². Her father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at age 55. Laboratory results reveal a fasting plasma
glucose of 128 mg/dL on two separate occasions. She denies polyuria, polydipsia, and unexplained weight
loss.
Which of the following is the most appropriate diagnosis?
A. Prediabetes
B. Type 1 diabetes mellitus
C. Type 2 diabetes mellitus
D. Gestational diabetes
Answer: C. Type 2 diabetes mellitus
,Rationale: A fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate occasions is diagnostic of
diabetes mellitus. The patient's age, obesity, family history, and lack of autoimmune symptoms are most
consistent with type 2 diabetes.
Question 3
A 67-year-old man presents with increasing shortness of breath while climbing stairs. He has smoked one
pack of cigarettes daily for 40 years. Pulmonary function testing demonstrates an FEV1/FVC ratio below
normal. The nurse practitioner suspects chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Which factor most likely contributed to the development of this condition?
A. Seasonal allergies
B. Cigarette smoking
C. Obesity
D. Viral infections during childhood
Answer: B. Cigarette smoking
Rationale: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Chronic exposure to tobacco smoke results in
airway inflammation, destruction of alveolar tissue, and progressive airflow limitation.
Question 4
A mother brings her 3-year-old son to the clinic because he developed fever, ear pain, and irritability
during the previous 24 hours. Examination reveals a bulging, erythematous tympanic membrane with
decreased mobility on pneumatic otoscopy.
Which bacterial pathogen is most commonly associated with this condition?
A. Escherichia coli
B. Streptococcus pneumoniae
C. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
D. Staphylococcus epidermidis
Answer: B. Streptococcus pneumoniae
Rationale: Streptococcus pneumoniae remains one of the most common causes of acute otitis media in
children. Other common pathogens include Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis.
Question 5
A 73-year-old postmenopausal woman presents for preventive care. She has never undergone bone
density screening. Her medical history includes tobacco use and low dietary calcium intake. She denies
any history of fractures.
, Which screening test should be recommended?
A. Electrocardiogram
B. Colonoscopy
C. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
D. Echocardiogram
Answer: C. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
Rationale: Women aged 65 years and older should undergo osteoporosis screening using DEXA scanning.
Age, smoking, and inadequate calcium intake further increase fracture risk.
Question 6
A 26-year-old woman presents with burning during urination, urinary frequency, and urgency. She denies
vaginal discharge or flank pain. Urinalysis demonstrates positive leukocyte esterase and nitrites.
Which organism is the most likely cause?
A. Escherichia coli
B. Enterococcus faecalis
C. Candida albicans
D. Staphylococcus epidermidis
Answer: A. Escherichia coli
Rationale: E. coli is responsible for approximately 80–90% of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in
women due to its ability to adhere to the uroepithelium.
Question 7
A 35-year-old man complains of episodic wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing that worsen at night
and after exercise. Symptoms improve with use of an albuterol inhaler.
Which diagnosis is most likely?
A. COPD
B. Pulmonary embolism
C. Asthma
D. Pneumonia
Answer: C. Asthma
Rationale: Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, wheezing, cough, and symptom
variability. Nighttime symptoms and improvement with bronchodilator use strongly support the diagnosis.
