ANCC FNP BoardQuestions & Answers
A middle-age female patient presents to the clinic with a recurrence of mild hidradenitis
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
suppurativa after topical therapies failed. Which first-line treatment is recommended? -
v v v v v v v v v v v
(CORRECT ANSWER)-Tetracycline
v v
Twelve weeks of oral tetracycline (Sumycin) is the recommended first-line treatment for
v v v v v v v v v v v
hidradenitis suppurativa.

__________________________________________________
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disorder of the terminal follicular epithelium in apocrine
v v v v v v v v v v v
gland-bearing skin. It is a chronic, disabling disorder that progresses, often causing
v v v v v v v v v v v v
keloids, contractures, and immobility. It is characterized by comedone-like follicular
v v v v v v v v v v
,occlusion, chronic and relapsing inflammation, mucopurulent discharge, and progressive
v v v v v v v v v
scarring.
v
Arthropathy associated with hidradenitis may be present. Typical presentation includes
v v v v v v v v v
nodules and sinus tracts (inflamed or noninflamed), abscesses, and scarring found in the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
axilla, genitofemoral area, perineum, gluteal area, and inframammary area in women.
v v v v v v v v v v v
Recommended treatments include antibiotics, steroids, retinoids, dapsone, and anti-tumor
v v v v v v v v
necrosis factor agents. A dermatology consultation should also be considered.
v v v v v v v v v v
First-line treatment is a 12-week course of an oral tetracycline (Sumycin) such as
v v v v v v v v v v v v
doxycycline. For patients who do not respond to doxycycline, the next recommended step
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
is a combination of twice-daily clindamycin (Cleocin) and rifampicin (Rifadin) for 10-12
v v v v v v v v v v v v
weeks. If treatment fails, acitretin (Soriatane, for males and nonfertile females) or dapsone
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
(Aczone) may be considered by a dermatologist. In patients with moderate to severe
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
hidradenitis suppurativa, adalimumab (Humira) may possibly be considered.

When providing culturally competent health care services to an American Indian elder, the
v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurse practitioner understands which is traditionally true? - (CORRECT ANSWER)-The
v v v v v v v v v v
"Medicine Wheel" is used by many for the purpose of health and healing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
The "Medicine Wheel" is traditionally used and contains four directions; north, south, east,
v v v v v v v v v v v v
and west. Traditionally each tribe has different meanings for each direction and they may
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
represent the season of the year or stage of life. It is aimed at providing a holistic view of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
life.

,An understanding of different cultural preferences leads to cultural competence in
v v v v v v v v v v
healthcare. Some patients may value traditional culture and preferences as it relates to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
healthcare. These individual preferences should be included in the interview and
v v v v v v v v v v v
treatment plan for patients.
v v v v
Traditionally, the American Indian culture values a holistic approach to health care
v v v v v v v v v v v
integrating the person, lifestyle, environment, family, and religion. Patients adhering to
v v v v v v v v v v v
these traditional cultural practices often feel that illness is due to a lack of harmony with
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the physical body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Patients may seek care from western
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
medicine for specific ailments while also consulting with traditional healers for spiritual
v v v v v v v v v v v v
guidance.
v
Healthcare providers should seek to understand relevant cultural factors and assess each
v v v v v v v v v v v
individual's healthcare literacy in order to provide culturally competent care.

The nurse practitioner sees an older adult patient in the clinic with the primary report of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
hearing loss and a sensation of fullness in the right ear. The nurse practitioner suspects
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
conductive hearing loss. Which could contribute to this? - (CORRECT ANSWER)-Cerumen,
v v v v v v v v v v v
commonly called earwax, is a combination of secretions and sloughed epithelial cells that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
protects the ears from infection, water, and insects. It is normally expelled from the ear
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
canal through natural jaw movement. When this self-cleaning process fails, cerumen can
v v v v v v v v v v v v
become impacted. Cerumen impaction occludes the ear canal and can press against the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
tympanic membrane, resulting in conductive hearing loss.
v v v v v v v
, _________________________________________
Conductive hearing is the transition of sound from the external and middle ear to the inner
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
ear. Conductive hearing loss is caused by problems in the external and middle ear that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
interfere with the transmission of sound and its conversion to mechanical vibration.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Causes of conductive hearing loss include obstruction of the external auditory canal by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
cerumen, foreign bodies, debris from otitis externa, and large exocytosis and osteomas.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Sensorineural hearing loss involves difficulty converting mechanical vibrations to
v v v v v v v v
electrical potential in the cochlea or in auditory nerve transmission to the brain. It is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
mostly caused by permanent damage in the organ of Corti. It can be caused by age-related
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
hearing loss, noise trauma, medications, autoimmune diseases, mechanical trauma,
v v v v v v v v v
Meniere disease, infection, and neoplasm (acoustic neuroma).
v v v v v v v
Approximately one-third of older adults between the ages of 61 and 70 years have hearing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
loss. More than 90% of adults older than 85 years of age have hearing loss. The most
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
common type of hearing loss is age-related and sensorineural. All adults older than 60
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
years of age should be screened for hearing loss at periodic health examinations.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
An otherwise healthy adult patient presents to the clinic with a diagnosis of community-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
acquired pneumonia and no recent antibiotic therapy. Which is the best option for
v v v v v v v v v v v v
treatment? - (CORRECT ANSWER)-Amoxicillin
v v v v
High-dose amoxicillin (Amoxil) or doxycycline are recommended as first-line therapy for
v v v v v v v v v v
adults without comorbidities.
