ANSWERED
2023/2024
,1. A 45-year-old male patient presents to the FNP with complaints
of chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations for the past
two days. He has a history of hypertension, diabetes, and
smoking. He denies any fever, cough, or abdominal pain. What is
the most appropriate initial action by the FNP?
A) Order an electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac enzymes
B) Refer the patient to a cardiologist
C) Prescribe a beta-blocker and a statin
D) Perform a physical examination and a health history
Answer: A
Rationale: The patient has signs and symptoms of acute coronary
syndrome (ACS), which is a medical emergency that requires
prompt diagnosis and treatment. The FNP should order an ECG
and cardiac enzymes to confirm the diagnosis and assess the
severity of the condition. Referring the patient to a cardiologist,
prescribing medications, or performing a physical examination
and a health history are not immediate priorities in this situation.
2. A 32-year-old female patient visits the FNP for a routine
wellness check-up. She has no current health problems or
complaints. She works as a teacher and has two children aged 6
and 8. She reports that she exercises regularly, eats a balanced
diet, and does not smoke or drink alcohol. What is the most
appropriate preventive service that the FNP should offer to this
patient?
A) Pap smear
B) Mammogram
C) Colonoscopy
D) Bone density scan
, Answer: A
Rationale: The FNP should offer a Pap smear to this patient, as it
is recommended for women aged 21 to 65 years every three
years to screen for cervical cancer. A mammogram is
recommended for women aged 50 to 74 years every two years to
screen for breast cancer. A colonoscopy is recommended for
adults aged 50 to 75 years every 10 years to screen for colorectal
cancer. A bone density scan is recommended for women aged 65
years and older or younger women with risk factors to screen for
osteoporosis.
3. A 54-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) comes to the FNP for a follow-up visit. He
reports that he has been using his prescribed inhalers as
directed, but he still has difficulty breathing, especially at night
and with exertion. He also complains of frequent coughing and
wheezing. He smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day and has
tried to quit several times without success. What is the most
appropriate management plan that the FNP should develop for
this patient?
A) Adjust the medication doses and add a corticosteroid inhaler
B) Refer the patient to a pulmonologist and a smoking cessation
program
C) Recommend lifestyle modifications such as avoiding triggers
and increasing physical activity
D) All of the above
Answer: D
Rationale: The FNP should develop a comprehensive
management plan that includes adjusting the medication doses
and adding a corticosteroid inhaler to reduce inflammation and
improve lung function, referring the patient to a pulmonologist and
a smoking cessation program to provide specialized care and
support for quitting smoking, which is the most important factor in
slowing down the progression of COPD, and recommending
lifestyle modifications such as avoiding triggers and increasing
