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

B. Electrolytes
C. Vitamin B12
D. Gastric pH
, Question 5
M. T. is a 71-year-old female who presents for evaluation of a ―lump on her chest.‖ She denies
any symptoms—there is no pain, erythema, edema, ecchymosis, or open areas—it is just a lump.
She has no idea how long it has been there and just noticed it a few weeks ago. Physical
examination reveals a round, smooth, flesh-colored tumor. It is firm but not hard; it has smooth
borders. It measures 6 cm in diameter and is non-tender to palpation. The AGACNP suspects
that this is a classic presentation of the most common chest wall tumor known as a:
A. Neurolemma
B. Lipoma
C. Hemangioma
D. Lymphangioma
