NR509 Bates Test Practice Questions and

Answers 100% Score


A patient presents for evaluation of a sharp, aching chest pain which increases with breathing. Which

anatomic area would you localize the symptom to?




A) Musculoskeletal


B) Reproductive


C) Urinary


D) Endocrine - ANSWER✔✔-A) Musculoskeletal




Chest pain may be due to a musculoskeletal condition, such as costochondritis or


intercostal muscle cramp. This would be worsened by motion of the chest wall. Pleuritic chest pain is

also a sharp chest pain which increases with a deep breath. This type of pain can


occur with inflammation of the pleura from pneumonia or other conditions and pulmonary


embolus.


A patient comes to the emergency room for evaluation of shortness of breath. To which anatomic region

would you assign the symptom?

A) Reproductive


B) Urinary


C) Cardiac


D) Hematologic - ANSWER✔✔-C) Cardiac




Cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure are the most likely on this list to result in shortness of

breath. There are cases within the other categories which may also result


in shortness of breath, such as anemia in the hematologic category, pregnancy in the reproductive


category, or sepsis with UTI in the urinary category.


A patient presents for evaluation of a cough. Which of the following anatomic regions can be responsible

for a cough?




A) Ophthalmologic


B) Auditory


C) Cardiac


D) Endocrine - ANSWER✔✔-C) Cardiac




The cardiac system can cause a cough if the patient has congestive heart failure. This results in fluid

buildup in the lungs, which in turn can cause a cough that produces pink,

frothy sputum. A foreign body in the ear may also cause a cough by stimulating Arnold's branch of the

vagus nerve, but this is less likely to be seen clinically than heart failure.


A 22-year-old advertising copywriter presents for evaluation of joint pain. The pain is new,


located in the wrists and fingers bilaterally, with some subjective fever. The patient denies a


rash; she also denies recent travel or camping activities. She has a family history significant for


rheumatoid arthritis. Based on this information, which of the following pathologic processes


would be the most correct?




A) Infectious


B) Inflammatory


C) Hematologic


D) Traumatic - ANSWER✔✔-B) Inflammatory




The description is most consistent with an inflammatory process, although all the other etiologies should

be considered. Lyme disease is an infection which commonly causes


arthritis, hemophilia is a hematologic condition which can cause bleeding in the joints, and trauma can

obviously cause joint pain.


A 47-year-old contractor presents for evaluation of neck pain, which has been intermittent for several

years. He normally takes over-the-counter medications to ease the pain, but this time they haven't

worked as well and he still has discomfort. He recently wallpapered the entire second floor in his house,

which caused him great discomfort. The pain resolved with rest. He denies fever, chills, rash, upper

respiratory symptoms, trauma, or injury to the neck. Based on this description, what is the most likely

pathologic process?




A) Infectious


B) Neoplastic


C) Degenerative


D) Traumatic - ANSWER✔✔-C) Degenerative




The description is most consistent with degenerative arthritis in the neck. The


patient has had intermittent symptoms and the questions asked to elicit pertinent negative and


positive findings are negative for infectious, traumatic, or neoplastic disease.


A 15-year-old high school sophomore comes to the clinic for evaluation of a 3-week history


of sneezing; itchy, watery eyes; clear nasal discharge; ear pain; and nonproductive cough. Which


is the most likely pathologic process?




A) Infection
