You note the following result on a routine urinalysis of a 37-year old
primigravida who is at 30 weeks gestation. Leukocyte=trace,
nitrite=negative, protein=2+, blood=negative. Her weight has increased by
5 lbs during the past week. Which of the following is most likely?
B. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia). Classic triad of
symptoms of preeclampsia include hypertension, edema (weight gain),
and proteinuria.
,The mother of a 12 month old infant reports to the nurse practitioner that
her child had a high fever for several days, which spontaneously resolved.
After the fever resolved, the child developed a maculopapular rash. Which
of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Fifth Disease (erythema infectiosum)
B. Roseola infantum (exanthema subitum)
C. Varicella
D. Infantile maculopapular rashes - B. Roseola Infantum (Exanthema
subitum)
Cranial Nerve VIII - Acoustic (Hearing and balance)
Cranial nerve IX - Glossopharyngeal- swallowing and rise of the palate,
gag reflex
Cranial Nerve XI - Spinal Accessory (upper trapezius)
Deep tendon reflex - Ankle- S1 primarily
Knee- Lumbar 2,3,4
Supinator(brachioradialis)-C5,6
,BicepTriceps-C6,7
Stroke risk scale - CHADS2
C-Congestive heart failure
H-Hypertension
A-Age >75 years
D- Diabetes
S-prior Stroke/TIA
A 70-year old male patient complains of a bright red-colored spot in his
left eye for 2 days. He denies eye pain, visual changes, or headaches. He
has a new onset of cough from a recent viral upper respiratory infection.
The only medicine he is on Bayer aspirin, 1 tablet a day. Which of the
following is most likely?
- D. Subconjunctival hemorrhage. Bright red blood in a sharply defined
area surrounded by normal-appearing conjunctiva indicates
subconjunctival hemorrhage.
, A woman is being evaluated by the nurse practitioner for complaints of
dyspareunia. A microscopy slide reveals a large number of atrophic
squamous epithelial cells. The vaginal pH is 4.0. There are very few
leukocytes and no RBCs are seen on the wet smear. Which of the following
is most likely?
A. Atrophic vaginitis. Symptoms of atrophic vaginitis include painful
intercourse, atrophic squamous epithelial cells, and a decrease in pH.
Vaginal atrophy is caused by lack of or imbalance of estrogen. Normal pH
of the vagina is 4.0-5.0 (acidic)
The most common type of skin malignancy is:
B. Basal skin cancer. It is several times more common that squamous cell
skin cancer according to the NIH.
Koplik's spots are associated with:
A. Poxvirius infections
B. Measles
C. Kawasaki's disease
D. Reye's syndrome - B. Measles. S/S include fever over 101, coryza,
cough, conjunctivitis, rash, and koplik's spots on buccal mucosa
