Question 1

A patient with suspected Cushing’s syndrome is being evaluated to
establish the diagnosis and cause. Patients with an adrenal tumor
typically will demonstrate:

A. Low ACTH and low cortisol

B. Low ACTH and high cortisol

C. High ACTH and low cortisol

D. High ACTH and high cortisol

Answer: The correct answer is
D. High ACTH and high cortisol

Patients with an adrenal tumor will demonstrate high ACTH because the
adrenal glands are stimulated to produce enough adrenocorticotropin
(ACTH). If ACTH output is too high, cortisol production raises. More
cortisol will be made in response to more adrenocorticotropin (ACTH
productio

Question 2

Pneumatosis, or gas cysts, may form in the wall anywhere along the
gastrointestinal tract; in some cases, they will produce symptoms such as
abdominal discomfort, diarrhea with mucus, and excess flatulence.
Treatment of pneumatosis most often involves:

A. Several days of oxygen by face mask

, B. Hyperbaric oxygen

C. Surgical resection

D. Treatment of underlying disease

Answer: The correct answer is
C. Surgical resection

Pneumatosis with symptoms such as abdominal, discomfort, diarrhea
with mucus, and excess flatulence need immediate surgical intervention.
Early surgical intervention is necessary for a patient with signs of
perforation. This patient is having signs of perforation
Question 3

Jennifer is an RN applicant for a staff nurse position in the surgical ICU.
She has had a screening PPD and comes back in 48 hours to have it read.
There is a 12-mm induration at the site of
injection. A chest radiograph is negative. The AGACNP knows that the
next step in Jennifer’s evaluation and management should include:

A. No further care, because the chest radiograph is negative

B. Quantiferon serum assay for exposure

C. Consideration of prophylactic therapy

D. Beginning therapy for pulmonary TB pending sputum
cultures

Answer: The correct answer is
D. Beginning therapy for pulmonary TB pending sputum cultures

, While the chest radiograph is negative, more steps are needed to ensure
that the pulmonary functioning is okay. A therapy for pulmonary TB
pending sputum cultures will help in the identification of any
abnormalities in the chest. For this reason, the next step is beginning
therapy for pulmonary TB pending sputum cultures

Question 4

P. E. is a 61-year-old female who presents for a postoperative visit
following a gastric resection after a perforation of peptic ulcer. She
reports feeling better, although it is taking longer than she expected.
However, she says she is feeling better each day, her appetite is
returning, and her incision is healing well. She is being discharged from
surgical care and advised to continue her routine health promotion
follow-up with her primary care provider. As part of her surgical
discharge teaching, the AGACNP counsels P. E. that as a result of her
gastric resection she will need lifelong follow-up of:

A. Blood group substances

B. Electrolytes

C. Vitamin B12

D. Gastric pH


Answer: Answer: C. Vitamin B12
The gastric cells secrete intrinsic factor and hydrochloric acid. Intrinsic
factor is responsible for the absorption of vitamin B 12 as food moves
down the ileum.
