NSG6420 Week 3 Quiz

Question 1. Susan P., a 60-year-old woman with a 30 pack year history, presents to your primary

care practice for evaluation of a persistent, daily cough with increased sputum production, worse

in the morning, occurring over the past three months. She tells you, “I have the same thing, year

after year.” Which of the following choices would you consider strongly in your critical thinking

process?

Seasonal allergies

Acute bronchitis

Bronchial asthma

Chronic bronchitis

Question 2. A patient presents complaining of a 5 day history of upper respiratory symptoms

including nasal congestion and drainage. On the day the symptoms began he had a low-grade

fever that has now resolved. His nasal congestion persisted and he has had yellow nasal drainage

for three days associated with mild headaches. On exam he is afebrile and in no

distress. Examination of his tympanic membranes and throat are normal. Examination of his nose

is unremarkable although a slight yellowish-clear drainage is noted. There is tenderness when

you lightly percuss his maxillary sinus. What would your treatment plan for this patient be?

Observation and reassurance

Treatment with an antibiotic such as amoxicillin

Treatment with an antibiotic such as a fluoroquinoline or amoxicillin-clavulanate

Combination of a low dose inhaled corticosteroid and a long acting beta2 agonist inhaler.

, Question 3.Emphysematous changes in the lungs produce the following characteristic in COPD

patients?

Asymmetric chest expansion

Increased lateral diameter

Increased anterior-posterior diameter

Pectus excavatum

Question 4. When palpating the posterior chest, the clinician notes increased tactile fremitus over

the left lower lobe. This can be indicative of pneumonia. Areas of increased fremitus should raise

the suspicion of conditions resulting in increased solidity or consolidation in the underlying lung

tissue, such as in pneumonia, tumor, or pulmonary fibrosis. In the instance of an extensive

bronchial obstruction:

No palpable vibration is felt

Decreased fremitus is felt

Increased fremitus is felt

Vibration is referred to the non-obstructed lobe

Question 5. Your patient presents with complaint of persistent cough. After you have finished

obtaining the History of Present Illness, you realize that the patient may be having episodes of

wheezing, in addition to his cough. The most common cause of cough with wheezing is

asthma. What of the following physical exam findings will support your tentative diagnosis of

asthma?

Clear, watery nasal drainage with nasal turbinate swelling

Pharyngeal exudate and lymphadenopathy

Clubbing, cyanosis and edema.
