An FNP is assessing a 6-year-old with a sore throat, fever, and tonsillar exudate but no cough. Using the Centor criteria, which additional finding would increase the likelihood of streptococcal pharyngitis?
A. Clear rhinorrhea.
B. Conjunctivitis.
C. Diffuse maculopapular rash present for 3 days prior to the sore throat.
D. Tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: D. Tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
A: Clear rhinorrhea suggests a viral etiology and is not part of the Centor criteria supporting strep.
B: Conjunctivitis is more suggestive of a viral (adenoviral) process, not a Centor criterion for strep.
C: A pre-existing rash unrelated to strep is not a Centor criterion.
A patient presents with unilateral red eye, purulent discharge, and eyelids matted shut in the morning. Visual acuity is unaffected. This presentation is most consistent with:
A. Acute angle-closure glaucoma.
B. Bacterial conjunctivitis.
C. Retinal detachment.
D. Optic neuritis.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. Bacterial conjunctivitis.
A: Angle-closure glaucoma classically presents with severe eye pain, a fixed mid-dilated pupil, and vision changes -- not primarily purulent discharge.
C: Retinal detachment typically presents with flashes, floaters, or a curtain-like vision loss, not purulent discharge.
D: Optic neuritis presents with painful vision loss, not primarily purulent discharge and matting.
A sexually active patient presents with dysuria, urethral discharge, and a positive nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The correct diagnosis is:
A. Gonococcal urethritis.
B. Non-gonococcal urethritis exclusively.
C. Interstitial cystitis.
D. Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: A. Gonococcal urethritis.
B: Non-gonococcal urethritis is diagnosed when gonorrhea testing is negative but symptoms/other organisms are present, which is not the case here.
C: Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder pain syndrome unrelated to a positive STI test.
D: BPH is a structural/age-related prostate condition unrelated to a positive gonorrhea test.
An FNP is examining a 4-week-old infant and auscultates a harsh systolic murmur at the left lower sternal border. What is the most appropriate next step?
A. Refer the infant to pediatric cardiology for echocardiographic evaluation.
B. Reassure the parents that all murmurs in infants are innocent and require no follow-up.
C. Prescribe a beta-blocker empirically before further workup.
D. Delay evaluation until the infant's 6-month well visit.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: A. Refer the infant to pediatric cardiology for echocardiographic evaluation.
B: Not all murmurs are innocent; new or harsh murmurs, especially in infants, require evaluation rather than blanket reassurance.
C: Empiric cardiac medication without a confirmed diagnosis is inappropriate and outside safe primary care practice.
D: A potentially significant cardiac finding should not be deferred for months; timely evaluation is indicated.
A 68-year-old patient presents with new-onset unilateral facial droop, arm weakness, and slurred speech that began 45 minutes ago. What is the FNP's priority action?
A. Schedule outpatient neurology follow-up within one week.
B. Activate emergency medical services for immediate transfer to a stroke-capable facility.
C. Prescribe aspirin and send the patient home to rest.
D. Order outpatient MRI to be completed within 72 hours.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. Activate emergency medical services for immediate transfer to a stroke-capable facility.
A: Acute stroke symptoms require emergent, not delayed outpatient, evaluation.
C: Sending a possible acute stroke patient home is unsafe and could result in preventable disability or death.
D: Time-sensitive treatment eligibility (e.g., tPA) is lost with delayed imaging; this requires emergent, not outpatient, workup.
