Q

A young adult who is sexually active presents with dysuria, frequency, and urgency of urination. She also reports a yellowish vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain. A cervical swab reveals the presence of intracellular gram-negative bacteria. Based on the symptoms and lab findings, what is the appropriate treatment for this patient?

A.Azithromycin 500 mg orally once a day for 7 days
B.Ceftriaxone 500 mg intramuscularly in a single dose
C.Metronidazole 2 g orally in a single dose
D.Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days

A

Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days

The patient’s symptoms of dysuria, frequency, urgency of urination, yellowish vaginal discharge, and lower abdominal pain, along with the lab finding of intracellular gram-negative bacteria, are consistent with chlamydia caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Recommended treatment for adults and adolescents is doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days. Alternative regimens include azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose or levofloxacin 500 mg orally once a day for 7 days. Patients diagnosed with chlamydia should also be tested for gonorrhea; treatment with ceftriaxone 500 mg intramuscularly is common if results are positive. A single dose of metronidazole 2 g orally would be appropriate for Trichomonas vaginalis.

41
Q

The nurse practitioner is preparing to create a plan of care to vaccinate a 16-year-old patient who has never had a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Which vaccination plan will the nurse practitioner recommend to the patient?

A.Administer 2 doses over the course of 12 months
B.Administer 2 doses over the course of 3 months
C.Administer 3 doses over the course of 6 months
D.Administer 3 doses over the course of 3 months

A

Answer: C. Administer 3 doses over the course of 6 months

Patients older than 15 years of age who have never received the HPV vaccine will receive 3 doses of the vaccine over 6 months. The second dose should be given 1 to 2 months after the first dose, and third dose 6 months after the first dose. Patients aged 9 to 14 years should receive a two-dose series, 6 to 12 months apart.

Q

Magnesium sulfate is used in pregnancy for which of the following?

A.Severe constipation
B.Neuroprotection for hypertensive disorders
C.As an antihypertensive
D.Preterm labor

A

Answer: B. Neuroprotection for hypertensive disorders

Magnesium sulfate is used when patients are admitted to labor and delivery with a hypertensive disorder in order to help prevent eclampsia. It is not an antihypertensive, and it is not effective for preterm labor. Constipation in pregnancy is often treated with diet and lifestyle changes. Stool softeners can be used as well.

50
Q

The nurse practitioner is preparing to discuss the recommendations of reproductive screening for a 65-year-old female patient with a history of human papillomavirus (HPV) and moderate cervical dysplasia. Which plan for screening will the nurse practitioner include?

A.HPV testing in 1 year
B.Cervical cytology in 3 years
C.Cervical cytology and HPV testing in 5 years
D.Future screening is not recommended

A

Solution: C

Cervical cytology and HPV testing in 5 years.

The recommended screening for a 65-year-old female patient with a history of human papillomavirus (HPV) and moderate cervical dysplasia is cervical cytology (pap test) with HPV testing every 5 years. Screening more frequently than every 5 years is of little benefit and not indicated unless there is a significant change in the clinical presentation. Cervical cancer screening should be stopped after age 65 once the patient has had adequate prior screenings (that were negative) and is not at a high risk for cervical cancer.

51
Q

A G2P1 patient presents for an initial prenatal visit at 12 weeks’ gestation. The patient’s blood type is O negative. Which of the following is the best course of action for this patient?

A.Plan delivery via cesarean section
B.Check an antibody screen and, if positive, administer RhoGAM
C.Check an antibody screen and, if negative, recheck at 28 weeks
D.Plan on administering RhoGAM when the patient is 72 hours post partum

A

Answer: C. Check an antibody screen and, if negative, recheck at 28 weeks

If the patient is Rh negative, the most appropriate course of action is to check an antibody screen. If the screen is negative, it means there has been no alloimmunization, and RhoGAM can be given in the third trimester. If the antibody screen is positive, alloimmunization has occurred and the patient needs to be referred to maternal–fetal medicine. RhoGAM is given post partum if the neonate is found to be Rh positive.

52
Q

A 35-year-old woman smokes approximately 10 cigarettes per day. She started smoking at age 18 years. She has a new male sexual partner and is interested in contraception. She was recently treated for gonorrhea and chlamydia. She is using condoms inconsistently. The urine pregnancy test is negative. She denies a history of hypertension, blood clots, liver disease, heart disease, and diabetes. Her last menstrual period was 5 days ago. Which of the following contraceptive methods is recommended?

A.Oral contraceptive pills
B.Copper intrauterine device (IUD)
C.Etonogestrel implant (Nexplanon)
D.Vaginal ring (NuvaRing)

A

Answer: C. Etonogestrel implant (Nexplanon)

An etonogestrel implant (Nexplanon) is the best option for this patient. It is a progesterone-only method. The 35-year-old patient is a smoker, so she cannot take oral contraceptives, which contain estrogen/progesterone. An IUD is contraindicated until the patient is retested (4-6 weeks after treatment) to ensure that her gonorrhea and chlamydia infections are gone. The vaginal ring (NuvaRing) contains estrogen and progestin; it is contraindicated for this patient.

53
Q

A patient who recently started norethindrone (Micronor) calls to report that they are on the last row of the pill packet but forgot today’s dose. It is now 5 hours late. The nurse practitioner advises the patient to:

A.Skip the late pill and resume the normal schedule; no back-up method is needed
B.Discard the remainder of the current pill packet and start a new packet on the first day of menstrual cycle
C.Take the pill now, resume the normal schedule, and abstain from sex for 2 days
D.Take the pill now, resume the normal schedule, and use a back-up method for 7 days

A

Take the pill now, resume the normal schedule, and abstain from sex for 2 days.

Progesterone-only birth control pills should be taken at the same time every day. If a dose is more than 3 hours late, the patient should take the dose as soon as possible and use a back-up method or abstain from sex for 2 days. All pills in a progesterone pill packet (1 month) are active pills, so the fact that it is the last week of the packet is irrelevant. The patient should not be advised to discard any of the pills.

Stage 4 – Darkening of scrotum
Stage 5 – End stage development (Adult type)

56
Q

To properly treat vulvovaginal candidiasis in a female patient with a history of lupus and diabetes, the nurse practitioner will prescribe:

A.Fluconazole (Diflucan) PO daily × 3 days
B.Clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin) intravaginally × 7 days
C.Fluconazole (Diflucan) PO every 72 hours × 2 doses
D.Terconazole (Terazol) vaginal cream × 5 days

A

Fluconazole (Diflucan) PO every 72 hours × 2 doses.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is an overgrowth of Candida albicans yeast in the vulva/vagina. The condition can be treated topically with miconazole, clotrimazole, and terconazole or orally with fluconazole. If the episode is severe, or if the patient is at high risk/immunocompromised, fluconazole should be given in two sequential doses that are 3 days a part, as opposed to the typical one-dose regimen. A history of diabetes and lupus necessitates a two-dose treatment.

57
Q

Which of the following is most strongly associated with inflammatory breast cancer?

A.Dominant mass in the tail of Spence
B.History of recent mastitis
C.Peau d’orange appearance of the skin
D.Galactorrhea

A

Answer: C. Peau d’orange appearance of the skin

Peau d’orange is a classic finding of inflammatory breast cancer. Mastitis is not a precursor for inflammatory breast cancer but can be a misdiagnosis. Galactorrhea is almost always a benign finding.

Serious but rare complication of preeclampsia/eclampsia (15% of cases develop HELLP). Classic patient is a multipara woman older than 25 years of age who is in the third trimester of pregnancy. Presents with the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia accompanied by right upper quadrant (or midepigastric) abdominal pain with nausea/vomiting and malaise (may be mistaken for viral illness). Symptoms can present suddenly. Lab abnormalities are elevation of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (>1.2 mg/dL), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with decreased number of platelets (<100,000 cells/mcL), which may progress to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in 15% to 38% of patients, peripheral smear with schistocytes and burr cells, and hemoglobin and hematocrit. If severe, right upper quadrant/epigastric pain may have hepatic bleed or swelling, which may be signs of impending hepatic rupture.
