Q1 Question 1 of 150
A 54-year-old man presents to a new primary care clinic for an initial visit. The nurse practitioner begins
the encounter by asking the patient to describe, in his own words, what brought him in today. Which
type of question is the NP using to open the interview
A. Open-ended question that invites narrative storytelling
B. Closed-ended question requiring a one-word response
C. Leading question that directs the patient toward an answer
D. Funnel question that rapidly narrows the differential
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Open-ended questions allow the patient to narrate symptoms, context, and concerns in their own words,
which builds rapport and surfaces information the clinician might not have anticipated. Closed-ended
questions are useful later for clarification, but they limit disclosure and can shut down the patient early.
Leading questions risk biasing the response and should be avoided.
Q2 Question 2 of 150
A 32-year-old woman reports abdominal pain lasting three days. The provider uses the OLDCARTS
mnemonic to structure the history. Which element of OLDCARTS is being assessed when the provider
asks, 'What makes the pain better or worse'
A. Onset
B. Relieving factors
C. Location
D. Timing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The 'R' in OLDCARTS refers to relieving and aggravating factors, capturing what eases or worsens the
symptom. Onset refers to when the symptom began, location to where it is felt, and timing to its pattern of
occurrence. Asking about modifying factors helps narrow the differential by revealing positional, dietary, or
pharmacologic influences.

, Q3 Question 3 of 150
A 68-year-old Vietnamese-speaking woman arrives with her adult son who offers to translate. The
nurse practitioner needs to take a detailed gynecologic history. Which approach best respects
confidentiality and clinical accuracy
A. Allow the son to interpret to preserve family involvement
B. Ask the patient to write her answers on a form
C. Use a trained medical interpreter, preferably female, via phone or in person
D. Defer the gynecologic history until a future visit
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
A trained medical interpreter ensures accurate translation of clinical concepts and preserves patient
confidentiality, particularly for sensitive histories such as gynecologic concerns. Using a family member risks
mistranslation, breaches of privacy, and filtered disclosure. Female gender concordance is preferred for
gynecologic history when feasible.
Q4 Question 4 of 150
A 45-year-old man with alcohol use disorder is asked four screening questions during his annual exam.
The first question is, 'Have you ever felt you should Cut down on your drinking' This question is part of
which screening tool
A. AUDIT-C
B. PHQ-9
C. DAST-10
D. CAGE questionnaire
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
The CAGE questionnaire uses four questions covering Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener, and is a
validated brief screen for alcohol use disorder. AUDIT-C is a three-question alcohol consumption screen.
PHQ-9 screens for depression, and DAST-10 screens for drug abuse.

, Q5 Question 5 of 150
A 28-year-old woman discloses that she feels sad most days, has lost interest in her hobbies, and
sleeps poorly. The NP administers the PHQ-9. Which score range is consistent with moderate
depression
A. 10 to 14
B. 1 to 4
C. 5 to 9
D. 20 to 27
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
A PHQ-9 score of 10 to 14 indicates moderate depression, while 5 to 9 is mild, 15 to 19 is moderately
severe, and 20 to 27 is severe. Scores of 1 to 4 are considered minimal. A score of 10 or above generally
warrants clinical intervention.
Q6 Question 6 of 150
A 60-year-old man with multiple chronic conditions is seen for follow-up. The NP asks him to name all
of his medications, including dose and frequency, and then compares this list against the medical
record and the bottles he brought. Which process is being performed
A. Pharmacologic history
B. Medication reconciliation
C. Polypharmacy screening
D. Allergy verification
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Medication reconciliation is the formal process of comparing the patient's actual medication use against the
documented list at every transition of care to detect discrepancies. It reduces adverse drug events.
Pharmacologic history is broader, and polypharmacy screening is one component, not the process itself.
