JEN LEIK FNP Practice Questions
A 28-year-old student is seen in the school health clinic with complaints of a
hacking cough that is productive of small amounts of sputum and a runny
nose. He does not take any medications, denies any allergies, and has no
significant medical history. Physical examination reveals a low-grade
temperature of 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit, respirations of 16/min, a pulse of 90
beats per minute, and diffuse fine crackles in the base of the lungs. A chest
radiograph (x-ray) shows diffuse infiltrates on the lower lobe of the right lung.
The total white blood cell count is 10,500/uL. What is the most likely
diagnosis?
A) Streptococcal pneumonia
B) Mycoplasma pneumonia
C) Acute bronchitis
D) Legionnaires disease - correct answer ✔B) Mycoplasma pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumonia is the organism most commonly seen in children and
young adults. It is easily spread from droplets, from sneezing and coughing, in
close proximity. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and x-ray results of
infiltrates in lower lobes.

an elderly White female with osteoporosis?

B) Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor

All of the following are false statements regarding acute gastritis except:

the disorder

C) The screening test for the disorder is the barium swallow test
D) The gold standard to evaluate the disorder is a colonoscopy - correct
answer ✔C) The screening test for the disorder is the barium swallow test
The gold standard for diagnosing gastric disease is biopsy of gastric and/or
duodenal tissue by upper endoscopy. Chronic use of NSAIDs disrupts the
production of prostaglandins, which decreases blood supply and then breaks
down the protective layer of the mucosa, which leads to gastric disease.
All of the following are false statements about atopic dermatitis except:
A) Contact with cold objects may exacerbate the condition
B) It does not have a linear distribution

fashion. They may have many different stages, including erythematous
papules and vesicles, with weeping, drainage, and/or crusting. Lesions are
commonly found on the scalp, face, forearms, wrists, elbows, and backs of the
knees. Commonly pruritic. Also known as eczema.
