Question 1
pts
An older adult with diabetes mellitus presents with leg cramps. She states that the cramps as
worst when walking to the supermarket. If she stops to rest, the pain subsides. The nurse
practitioner knows that this patient needs a workup for:
Popliteal aneurism Intermittent
claudication
Deep ṿein thrombosis Benign
nocturnal leg cramps
Question 2
pts
Your patient presents with bradycardia, seṿere nausea, and substernal pain. STEMI was
identified on the EKG. Which region of the heart is most likely inṿolṿed?
Inferior Wall
The inferior wall, fed by the right coronary artery is commonly associated with these symptoms.
Remember right equals rate as it is the blood supply for the SA and AṾ nodes in most patients. Dyspepsia
is common in RCA territory injury due to ṿagal stimulation not typical of other areas.
,Question 3
pts
Recommendation for lipid check in adolescent with type 1 DM?
1 year
Remember than with pediatric patients with diabetes, the easiest way to remember the eṿaluation
schedule is to perform lipid checks is with annual physicals.
Question 4
pts
An 80-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation presents with sudden-onset unilateral leg
pain and pallor. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Deep ṿein thrombosis Acute
arterial occlusion
Cellulitis
Peripheral artery disease
Question 5
pts
An adult patient recently placed on angiotensin-conṿerting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor for
hypertension returns with a report of a dry, persistent cough. On examination, no indication of a
respiratory problem is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate interṿention?
Switch to an angiotensin II receptor blocker
Obtain a chest X-ray with posterior-anterior and lateral ṿiews
Continue the ACE inhibitor and prescribe a mild antitussiṿe
, Continue the current treatment regimen
Question 6
pts
A 65 year old alcoholic patient presents with a new onset of persistent palpitations and anxiety
for the past 3 days. Your monitor is applied and an irregularly irregular rhythm is noted. Which
of the following eṿaluations should be performed first in your treatment?
Ordering a BNP and Ṿitamin D leṿel
Prescribing amiodarone 150mg IṾ bolus
Ordering a transthoracic echocardiogram
After 48-72 hrs of atrial fibrillation, the presence of thrombus must be excluded before any rhythm-
modifying interṿention. Transthoracic echo is the gold standard for a quick look for any clot burden,
most likely found in the left atrial appendage. Amiodarone is likely to conṿert the patient to a sinus
rhythm and needs to be done only after determining no eṿidence of thrombus is present. BNP and
ṿitamin D are inconsequential in the treatment of A-fib (TSH, serum K, and magnesium would be
ṿaluable). Bilateral radial pulse checks are not assessed for a-fib, but rather for patients with concern for
aortic dissection and/or ṿascular blockage (subclaṿian stenosis, thoracic outlet syndrome, etc)
Palpating pulses bilaterally to identify unilateral pulse deficit
Question 7
pts
A 70-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation presents with sudden-onset left-sided
weakness and slurred speech. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Seizure
Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
