The nurse practitioner is suspicious of possible papilledema after obtaining a thorough
history from a patient. Which statement made by the patient raises the index of suspicion
for this pathology?


A.
"I was sitting at my desk this afternoon and suddenly developed eye pain"


B.
"My vision has been getting worse over the last few months but has improved with new
glasses"


C.
"My vision suddenly became blurry, and I saw flashing lights and floaters"


D.
"While getting ready for work this morning, I began to experience flickering vision that
lasted only a few seconds"

D.
"While getting ready for work this morning, I began to experience flickering vision that
lasted only a few seconds"


Papilledema is described as a sudden onset of vision changes, including blurred or double
vision, flickering, and loss of vision lasting seconds at a time (D). Upon examination of the
eye, the nurse practitioner may see that the margins of the disk are blurred, and the central

,cup cannot be visualized due to disk swelling. Headaches are also a common finding.
Papilledema should be considered an emergency, as it can indicate increased intracranial
pressure or a dangerously high blood pressure.

A 23-year-old man presents to the office with concerns of yellow/green penile discharge
and pain with urination. The patient reports a poor hydration status, multiple new sexual
partners over the past year, and occasional use of condoms. The vital signs are as follows:
weight 180 lbs, blood pressure 120/60 mm Hg, pulse 68 bpm, and temperature 98.4°F
orally. A nucleic acid amplification test is positive for gonorrhea and negative for
chlamydia. What is the best treatment plan for this patient?


A.
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 1 g intramuscular; retest in 3 months


B.
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 500 mg intramuscular and azithromycin (Zithromax) 1 g oral; no
test of cure is indicated


C.
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 500 mg intramuscular and azithromycin (Zithromax) 1 g oral; retest
in 3 months


D.
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 500 mg intramuscular; no test of cure is indicated

D.
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 500 mg intramuscular; no test of cure is indicated


The CDC recently updated the treatment guidelines for gonorrhea and chlamydia. For
individuals weighing < 150 kg, gonorrhea infections are to be treated with a single
intramuscular dose of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 500 mg (D). For individuals weighing ≥ 150 kg,
1 g ceftriaxone intramuscular in a single dose should be administered. A patient who is
appropriately treated does not require a test of cure. Specific to chlamydia, for individuals

,weighing <150 kg, chlamydia (confirmed or suspected) should be treated with doxycycline
100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days

unilateral pain?


A.

B.
Migraine headache


C.
Temporal arteritis


D.
Tension headache

D.
Tension headache


Headaches are one of the most commonly reported symptoms in the adult population. It is
important to know the characteristics associated with each type of headache to help
correctly diagnose the condition. Tension headaches (D) are the most commonly reported
headaches in adults. The usual symptoms include mildly to moderately intense head pain
that is bilateral in nature. The pain is typically described as dull, pressure-like, band-like, or
fullness-like. Tension headaches are not usually pulsating or throbbing in quality and do not
cause associated nausea, vomiting, photophobia, or increased pain with movement. Some
patients present with increased pericranial muscle tenderness, including tenderness in the
myofascial muscles, neck muscles, and shoulders.

Legal blindness is considered vision that is 20/200 or less (D) without corrective eyewear.

Depending on the patient's state of residence, a corrected vision to a certain degree may be
required to be able to operate a motor vehicle.
