NUR 634 Midterm Exam A 55-year-old smoker complains of chest pain and gestures with a closed fist over her sternum to describe it. Which of the following diagnoses should you consider because of her gesture? A. Bronchitis B. Costochondritis C. Pericarditis D. Angina pectoris Feedback: The clenched fist of Levine's sign, while not completely specific for ischemic pain, should definitely cause you to consider this etiology. Bronchitis is usually painless, and pericarditis can produce a sharp pain which worsens with inspiration. This is called pleuritic pain and can be associated with pneumonia and other chest diseases. Costochondritis is a parasternal pain, usually well localized. It is exquisitely tender Retinal detachment may be associated with all of the following EXCEPT: A. painless, unilateral loss in vision B. Spontaneous recovery C. Flashes of light D. Context of trauma Optic neuritis may be associated with all the following conditions EXCEPT: A. Sudden, painful loss in unilateral vision B. Associated with autoimmune disease C. Early sign of multiple sclerosis D. Common incidental finding on fundoscopic exam Mrs. Fletcher comes to your office with unilateral pain during chewing, which is chronic. She does not have facial tenderness or te nderness of the scalp. Which of the following is the most likely cause of her pain? A. Trigeminal neuralgia B. Temporomandibular joint syndrome C. Temporal arteritis D. Tumor of the mandible Feedback: Temporomandibular joint syndrome is a very common cause of pain with chewing. Ischemic pain with chewing, or jaw claudication, can occur with temporal arteritis, but the lack of tenderness of the scalp overlying the artery makes this less likely. Trigeminal neuralgia can be associated with extreme tenderness over the branches of the trigeminal nerve. While a tumor of the mandible is possible, is it much less likely than the other choices.

Based on this description, what is your most likely diagnosis? A. Alopecia areata B. Trichotillomania C. Tinea capitis D.

It seems to be worse in the winter and improves with some sun exposure. On examination, you notice scabbing and crusting with some silvery scale, and you are observant enough to notice small "pits" in his nails. What would account for these findings? A. Eczema B. Pityriasis rosea C. Psoriasis D. Tinea infection Feedback: This is a classic presentation of plaque psoriasis. Eczema is usually over the flexor surfaces and does not scale, whereas psoriasis affects the extensor surfaces. Pityriasis usually is limited to the trunk and proximal extremities.

Reassess by examination in 6 months C. Reassess by examination in 3 months D. Refer to a vascular surgeon Feedback: A pulsatile mass in this man should be followed up with ult rasound as soon as possible. His risk of aortic rupture is at least 15 times greater if his aorta measures more than 4 centimeters. It would be inappropriate to recheck him at a later time without taking action. Likewise, referral to a vascular surgeon bef ore ultrasound may be premature. **Aortic Aneurysm** A 8-year-old patient presents to the office for evaluation of a rash. At first, there was only one large patch, but then more lesions erupted suddenly on the back and torso; the lesions itch.
