Exercise induced bundlebranch blocks Paced rhythm and resting bundle branch block Paced rhythm and exercise inducedbundle branch blocks Low voltage up sloping of the ST-segment Question 11. Question : Youhave confirmed that your patient does indeed have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. In teachingyour patient about symptoms to report immediately to the vascularsurgeon, you instruct thepatient to report which of the following? Newly diagnosed diabetes Back pain or flank painVisual disturbances Headaches Question 12. Question : What is one of the common causes of aSaccular Abdominal Aneurysm? Poor kidney functioning Age Drugs: illicit and prescribedTrauma Question 13. Question : The diagnostic accuracy of stress testing is decreased amongwomen compared to men for what reasons? Women having thinner ventricular and septalmuscles Women usually have single vessel or non-obstructive disease Women cannot exercise asvigorously as men Women typically have multiple vessel disease Question 14. Question :Population disease management is a term used to describe: High specificity disease states Lowspecificity diseases states Low prevalence specific diseases High prevalence specific diseasesQuestion 15. Question : You receive a report back on the suspected abdominal aortic aneurysmfor your patient. It confirms your suspicion of AAA. The report describes the aneurysm as asymmetric weakness of the entire circumference of the aorta. Youknow that this form ofaneurysm is referred to as what kind of aneurysm? Thoracic aneurysm Budging sac aneurysmSaccular aneurysm Fusiform aneurysm Question 16. Question : Your practice partner justordered an exercise echocardiography 2DE for a patient with suspected cardiovascular risk. Thispatient has known resting wall motion abnormalities.Why would this not be the best test toassess this patient’s cardiac risk? Sensitivity is increased Sensitivity is decreased Specificity isincreased Specificity is decreased Question 17. Question : Your 60-year old male patient arrivesfor his appointment. He complains of general malaise and fever over the past several days withlow back pain. He also states that he is getting up at night more often to urinate and never feelshis bladder is completely empty.What differential diagnosis shouldyou consider in this patient?Acute viral prostatitis Stomach virus Acute bacterial prostatitis BPH only Question 18.Question : We all know that collaboration is integral to becoming asuccessful nurse practitioner.Among collaborations, however, only one can be considered as the most important. While eachexample below is important, which is the most important collaboration? The one that occurs:Between the nurse practitioner and their physician mentor Between two healthcare providersabout a single patient Between the patient and their family Between the patient and the nursepractitioner Question 19. Question : The sensitivity of a routine ETT is effort dependent. Whatphysiological changes occur during effort in the routine ETT? Rapid heart rates and coronaryartery narrowing Decrease in coronary blood flow Decreased heart rate and increased systolicblood pressure Increased coronary flow and increased systolic blood pressure Question 20.Question : A 47-year old female with general complaints of fatigueand shortness of breathshows up in your clinic as a referral from another nurse practitioner. Several blood tests andchest x-rays have been completed without any diagnosis or outstanding abnormalities.You decideto order an ETT despite the fact that the recent ECG does not show any abnormalities. From theanswers below, which would be the best answer to support your decision? You are out of otheroptions CAD in women is under diagnosed To please the patient Women present with the samepattern of CAD as do males Question 21. Question : Your patient underwent an exercise stresstest for CAD. There is significant elevation of the ST-segment.What do you need to know aboutthese changes to manage your patient’s care? : This patient needs to see someone moreexperienced in treatment
