,1. During a comprehensive health assessment, which
finding is most indicative of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) in a patient?
A) Clubbing of fingers
B) Barrel chest
C) Rales in lung bases
D) Wheezing
Answer: B) Barrel chest
Rationale: Barrel chest is a classic sign of COPD due to
hyperinflation of the lungs. Clubbing is more typical in lung
cancer or other chronic hypoxia conditions, while rales and
wheezing can occur in various pulmonary conditions.
2. Which of the following is least likely to be associated
with aortic regurgitation?
A) Brachial pulse delay
B) Water-hammer pulse
C) Diastolic murmur
D) Head bobbing
Answer: A) Brachial pulse delay
Rationale: Aortic regurgitation is associated with a water-
hammer pulse, diastolic murmur, and head bobbing, but not
typically with any pulse delay.
, Answer: A) Dry mucous membranes
Rationale: In geriatric patients, skin turgor is not reliable
due to loss of elasticity with aging. Dry mucous membranes
are a more accurate indicator of dehydration.
4. What assessment finding is most consistent with a
myocardial infarction?
A) Sharp chest pain relieved by rest
B) Substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm
C) Epigastric pain relieved by antacids
D) Pleuritic chest pain worsened by inhalation
Answer: B) Substernal chest pain radiating to the left
arm
Rationale: This description fits the classic presentation of
a myocardial infarction. Sharp and pleuritic pains are less
likely to be associated.
5. In assessing pediatric patients, which sign is most
indicative of respiratory distress?
A) Wheezing
B) Cyanosis
C) Retractions
D) Nasal flaring
Answer: D) Nasal flaring
Rationale: While all options may indicate respiratory
distress, nasal flaring is particularly significant in pediatrics.
