NR 511 Week 5 Quiz: Advanced Pharmacology Question 1 1 / 1 pts A 48-year-old male presents with acute low back pain in the right that increases when s... [Show More] tanding and bending. Upon physical exam, lower extremity muscle strength is 5/5 and straigh leg raise test is negative. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? You Answered Spondylolisthesis. Osteoarthritis. Correct Answer Muscle strain. Herniated nucleus pulposus. Muscle strain is usually located in the low back and is unilateral in location. The onset is acute, and pain increases with standing and bending and decreases with sitting. The straight leg raise test and plain x-ray are both negative. Question 2 1 / 1 pts A 55-year-old patient is able to complete range of motion (ROM) against gravity with some resistance. The nurse practitioner would assign which of the following numerical grades to this manual muscle testing description? Correct! 4 3 2 5 Normal muscle strength and function and complete ROM against gravity with full or normal resistance would be given a numerical grade of 5. Complete ROM against gravity with some resistance is given a numerical grade of 4 and described as good muscle strength. Complete ROM against gravity is indicative of fair muscle strength and function and is given a numerical grade of 3. A grade of 2, denoting poor muscle strength, is given for complete ROM with gravity eliminated. Question 3 1 / 1 pts The valgus stress test, varus stress test, Lachman test, and thumb sign are all considered standard tests to check the integrity of the ligaments of the knee. Which of the following would the clinician choose to assess the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is the most commonly involved structure in severe knee injury? Thumb sign. Correct! Lachman test. Valgus stress test. Varus stress test. The Lachman test assesses the ACL. Question 4 1 / 1 pts A 55-year-old female presents to the clinic with complaints of left hand and wrist pain and swelling after a slip and fall on the ice yesterday. On examination, the clinician notes tenderness at the “anatomical snuffbox.” This finding most likely indicates which of the following? Hamate fracture. You Answered Radial head fracture. Ulnar styloid fracture. Correct Answer Scaphoid fracture. There is tenderness over the “anatomical snuffbox” in a scaphoid (aka navicular) fracture, the most common injury of the carpal bones. Poor blood supply puts the scaphoid bone at risk of avascular necrosis; therefore, wrist pain and tenderness in the anatomical snuffbox, even without history of antecedent trauma, warrant a wrist x-ray. Question 5 1 / 1 pts A 16-year-old male patient presents to the clinic after sustaining a football injury to his right knee. The clinician elicits a positive anterior/posterior drawer sign. This test indicates an injury to the ______? Collateral ligament. Lateral meniscus. Medial meniscus. Correct! Cruciate ligament. Positive anterior and posterior drawer signs indicate injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament, respectively. The drawer and Lachman tests are utilized to assess for cruciate ligament injury. Question 6 1 / 1 pts A 10-year-old male presents to the clinic after jumping off a 2-foot wall, twisting his foot and ankle upon landing. His ankle x-ray demonstrates a fracture of the distal tibia, over the articular surface, through the epiphysis and physis. Based on the Salter-Harris classification of growth plate injuries, the clinician knows that this is a ______? Salter-Harris IV fracture. Salter-Harris V fracture. Correct! Salter-Harris III fracture. Salter-Harris II fracture. The Salter-Harris classification system of growth plate injuries divides most growth plate injuries into 5 categories based on the damage: A Salter-Harris I fracture travels through the physis. A Salter-Harris II fracture travels through the metaphysis and physis. A Salter-Harris III fracture travels through the epiphysis and physis. A Salter-Harris IV fracture travels through the metaphysis, epiphysis, and physis. A Salter-Harris V fracture involves a compression injury of the physis. Question 7 1 / 1 pts A 13-year-old obese (body mass index [BMI] above the 95th percentile) boy reports low-grade left knee pain for the past 2 months. He denies antecedent trauma but admits to frequent “horseplay” with his friends. The pain has progressively worsened, and he is now unable to bear weight at all on his left leg. His current complaints include left groin, thigh, and medial knee pain and tenderness. His examination demonstrates negative drawer, Lachman, and McMurray tests; left hip with decreased internal rotation and abduction; and external hip rotation with knee flexion. Based on the above scenario, the clinician should suspect which of the following? A left meniscal tear. Osgood-Schlatter disease. A left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Correct! A slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). SCFE is a displacement of the femoral head relative to the femoral neck that occurs through the physis (growth plate) of the femur. The vast majority of clients with this condition are obese, as the added weight increases shear stress across the physis. The mean age at diagnosis is 12 years for females and 13.5 years for males. Surgery is often required via in situ pin fixation (single screw) to stabilize the growth plate to prevent further slippage and avoid complications. Question 8 0 / 1 pts A 49-year-old female presents with low back pain radiating into the right leg,. An x-ray of the lumbosacral spine is within normal limits. Which of the following diagnoses do you explore further? You Answered Osteoarthritis. Correct Answer Herniated nucleus pulposus. Scoliosis. Compression fracture. A plain x-ray will not show a herniated nucleus pulposus or a muscle strain. It will show spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, osteoarthritis, and spinal stenosis. Note that x-rays of the spine are not indicated in low back pain unless the cause of the pain is thought to be bony in origin or traumatic in nature or there is a need to rule out systemic disease. Question 9 1 / 1 pts A 42-year-old professional golfer complains of chronic back pain for many years. His workup reveals that it is not the result of a degenerative disc problem. His back “goes out” about twice per year, and he is out of work for about a week each time. Which of the following should the clinician advise? Make an appointment with a neurosurgeon for a surgical consultation. Correct! Begin a planned exercise program to strengthen back muscles. Consider changing careers to something less physical. Start on a daily low-dose narcotic to take away the pain. In this case, the patient may benefit from a regular planned exercise program to strengthen his back muscles and attempt to reduce the probability of future episodes of back pain. Question 10 0 / 1 pts A 55-year-old female patient presents with complaints of pain and paresthesias in the left ulnar aspect of the forearm, thumb, and middle finger following a C6 & C7 nerve root dermatomal pattern. This is known as ________? Correct Answer Cervical radiculopathy. You Answered Brachial plexus neuritis. Peripheral polyneuropathy. Thoracic outlet syndrome. Cervical nerve root compression of C6 and C7 causes cervical radiculopathy. Brachial plexus neuritis presents with dysfunction ranging from momentary paresthesias to completely flail extremities and is usually caused by injuries to the C5 and C6 nerve roots. Peripheral polyneuropathy is associated with distal sensorimotor paresthesia and diminished deep tendon reflexes. Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of the brachial plexus and/or subclavian vessels as they exit the space between the superior shoulder girdle and the first rib. Symptoms are color changes in the hand and sensory changes and weakness in the fourth and fifth fingers. Question 11 1 / 1 pts In assessing the skeletal muscles, the clinician turns the patient’s forearm so that the palm is face up. This is called: Eversion. Abduction. Pronation. Correct! Supination. Turning the forearm so that the palm is up is called supination. Question 12 1 / 1 pts A 62-year-old woman presents to the clinic with chronic low back pain. She states she has developed episodes of fecal incontinence and numbness in her right leg over the last week. Upon examination the clinician notes decreased perianal sensation to pinprick. What should the clinician do next? Send the patient for Electromyelography (EMG) testing. Prescribe physical therapy for 6 weeks. Correct! Refer the patient to the Emergency Room (ER). Order a MRI. Cauda equina is characterized by loss of bowel/bladder control or saddle-pattern anesthesia (perineum). If left untreated, compression can cause ischemia and permanent nerve damage leading to incontinence and paralysis. The patient should be immediately referred to the ER. Question 13 1 / 1 pts A conservative approach is recommended in the initial approach to the management of low back pain. Which of the following would be an appropriate treatment plan for a 32-year-old obese male (BMI 33) diagnosed with an acute lumbar strain? Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI). Bedrest. Correct! Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Surgery. It has been proven that rest has little to no effect on the resolution of LBP. Patients should do whatever activities are tolerable. Almost 90% of cases resolve within 1 to 6 weeks thus the initial management should include non-pharmacologic (masage, heat, etc.), pharmacological (NSAIDs, short term use of muscle relaxants) and activity. Surgery and ESI are not indicated in the initial management of LBP. Question 14 0 / 1 pts A 28-year-old male presents to the clinic for follow-up from the emergency department, where he was seen for right forearm pain 3 days ago. He works as a carpenter and is right hand dominant. He states he was diagnosed with right forearm tendinitis and is not sure what this means. As part of teaching, the clinician explains that the condition is caused by inflammation of one or more of the tendons. Which of the following describes tendons? Correct Answer The collagen fibers that connect muscle to bone. You Answered The fibrocartilaginous disks that separate bony surfaces. The ropelike bundles of collagen fibrils that connect bone to bone. The pouches of synovial fluid that cushion bone and other joint structures. Tendons are the collagen fibers that connect muscle to bone. Question 15 1 / 1 pts A 16-year-old boy presents to the office with complaints of low back pain after lifting heavy boxes. In discussing with him proper body mechanics to prevent future injuries, the clinician should advise which of the following? “Hold boxes away from your body at arm’s length.” “Bend and twist simultaneously as you lift.” Correct! “Bend your knees and face the object straight on.” “Keep your feet firmly together.” In discussing with the patient proper body mechanics to prevent future injuries, you tell him to bend his knees and face the object straight on, to hold boxes close to his body and not at arm’s length, and to spread his feet about shoulder width apart. Using legs and arms, facing objects straight on, and keeping a wide stance will provide a broad base of support and allow for use of supporting muscles, relieving stress on the back muscles.

Erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) usually starts on the cheeks and spreads to the arms and trunk. Question 2 0 / 1 pts A 3-year-old patient presents to your pediatric office with her mother. She has recently started in day care. Her mother noted slight perioral erythema on the right side of the patient’s mouth last night before bed. The patient awoke today with 3 small, superficial, honey-colored vesicles where the erythema was last night. The patient has no surrounding erythema presently. She had no difficulty eating this morning and is active and energetic and doesn’t appear lethargic or fatigued. She is also afebrile. How would you treat this child? Oral Keflex for 7 days. Topical compress with Burow solution and follow-up in 2 to 3 days.ou Answered Local debridement and topical compress with Burow solution and close follow-up. Correct Answer Local debridement and mupirocin for 5 days. This is the treatment of choice for impetigo. Question 3 1 / 1 pts A 27-year-old female comes in to your primary care office complaining of a perioral rash. The patient noticed burning around her lips a couple days ago that quickly went away. She awoke from sleep yesterday and noticed a group of vesicles with erythematous bases where the burning had been before. There is no burning today. She is afebrile and has no difficulty eating or swallowing. What test would confirm her diagnosis? Exam under a Wood lamp. Sterile culture sent for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.orrect! Tzanck smear. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) prep. This would show giant cells consistent with herpes simplex virus. KOH and wood's lamp are used to diagnose fungal infections. Cultures can be sent to diagnose bacterial infections but it will not detect HSV. Question 4 0 / 1 pts A 10-year-old male presents to the office with his mother with complaints of itchy and red eyes for 1 day. He reports watery drainage in both eyes, associated with repetitive itching. He has no fever or constitutional symptoms. The patient has a sibling that just started day care recently. Upon examination, vision is 20/20 OU with glasses. He has mild to moderate conjunctival hyperemia with bilateral preauricular lymph nodes that are inflamed. What is the patient’s diagnosis? You Answered Bacterial conjunctivitis. Correct Answer Viral conjunctivitis. Blepharitis. Allergic conjunctivitis. This is the classic presentation of viral conjunctivitis. The patient also has exposure to kids at school and a sibling with day care exposure. Question 5 1 / 1 pts A 22-year-old college student presents to your urgent care clinic complaining of a rash. She was recently on spring break and spent every night in the hot tub at her hotel. On physical exam, she has multiple small areas of 1- to 2-mm erythematous pustules that are present mostly where her bathing suit covered her buttocks. What is the most likely pathogen causing these lesions? Correct! Pseudomonas aeruginosa Klebsiella. Streptococcus. Staphylococcus aureus. This is a common cause of hot tub folliculitis. Staph and Strep can cause folliculitis but it is not the most common pathogens in hot tubs. Klebsiella can cause folliculitis in the immunocompromised patient. Question 6 1 / 1 pts You diagnose 46-year-old Mabel with viral conjunctivitis. Your treatment should include: Oral erythromycin for 14 days. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic drops. Gentamicin ophthalmic ointment.orrect! Supportive measures and lubricating drops (artificial tears). Viral conjunctivitis is treated with supportive measures, including cold compresses and lubricating eye drops. Preventive measures, such as frequent handwashing, are important, as viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious. Question 7 0 / 1 pts Mrs. Johnson, a 54-year-old accountant, presents to the office with a painful red eye without discharge. You should suspect: Bacterial conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis Correct Answer Iritisou Answered Allergic conjunctivitis. In a client with iritis, there is rarely a discharge. Question 8 0 / 1 pts A 4-year-old male presents to your pediatric clinic with his mother complaining of an itchy rash, mostly between his fingers. This has been going on for multiple days and has been getting worse. The patient recently started at a new day care. On physical exam, the patient is afebrile and has multiple small (1-2 mm) red papules in sets of 3 located in the web spaces between his fingers. He also has signs of excoriation. What is the treatment for this problem? Over-the-counter Benadryl cream. Correct Answer Permethrin lotion for the patient and also his family members.u Answered Cold compresses and hydrocortisone cream 1% twice a day. Ketoconazole cream. This is the treatment for scabies. Question 9 0 / 1 pts A 25-year-old male presents with “bleeding in my eye” for 1 day. He awoke this morning with a dark area of redness in his eye. He has no visual loss or changes. He denies constitutional symptoms, pruritus, drainage, or recent trauma. The redness presents on physical exam as a dark red area in the patient’s sclera of the right eye only and takes up less than 50% of the eye. The patient’s remaining sclera is clear and white. He also notes he was drinking alcohol last night and vomited afterward. What is the best treatment? You Answered Sending the patient to the emergency department for immediate ophthalmology consult. Topical steroids and close follow-up with an ophthalmologist. Cold compresses and frequent handwashing. Correct Answer Reassurance that this lesion will resolve without any treatment in 2 to 4 weeks. This is the classic presentation of a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will resolve without treatment in 2 to 4 weeks. Vomiting probably caused his hemorrhage. Question 10 0 / 1 pts A 20-year-old male presents to your office in the summer complaining of chest discoloration. He is a lifeguard and has been out in the sun without a shirt on for long periods of time. His physical exam shows small, flat, circular, hypopigmented macules on his chest that he states are mildly pruritic. What is the treatment of choice for this diagnosis? Ketoconazole shampoo. Oral fluconazole.ou Answered Hydrocortisone cream 1%. Correct Answer Selenium sulfide shampoo. Selenium sulfide shampoo is the treatment of choice for tinea versicolor. Ketaconozole is not the treatment for tinea versicolor but it can be used for recurrence prevention in resolved cases. Oral fluconazole is only the treatment in severe cases that are resistant to topical treatments. Question 11 0 / 1 pts Sharon, a 47-year-old bank teller, is seen by the nurse practitioner in the office for a red eye. You are trying to decide between a diagnosis of conjunctivitis and iritis. One distinguishing characteristic between the two is: Eye discomfort. No change in or slightly blurred vision. Correct Answer A ciliary flush.u Answered Slow progression. When trying to decide between a diagnosis of conjunctivitis and iritis, one distinguishing characteristic is the ciliary flush present in iritis. Photophobia is not usually present in conjunctivitis, but it is always present with iritis. Photophobia occurs with corneal inflammation, iritis, and angle-closure glaucoma. Question 12 0 / 1 pts Which of the following patients does not have an increased risk of Candida infection? A patient requiring home antibiotics while recovering from an operation for an infected hernia. A diabetic patient. You Answered A patient using a steroid regimen for asthma control. Correct Answer A patient with a history of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease doesn’t increase the risk of Candida infection. Question 13 1 / 1 pts Henry, 64 years old, is having difficulty getting rid of a corneal infection. He asks why. How do you respond? “Because the infection was painless, it was not treated early enough.” Correct! “Because the cornea doesn’t have a blood supply, an infection can’t be fought off as usual.” “Systemic antibiotics have difficulty getting to that area of the eye.” “We can’t determine the causative agent.” Because the cornea is an avascular organ, immune defenses have difficulty fighting off infections. Question 14 0 / 1 pts A 25-year-old male presents to your urgent care clinic complaining of genital pruritus. On physical exam, the patient has small, erythematous, excoriated papules in his pubic hair. No mites are identified. There is no penile discharge, and the patient has no constitutional symptoms. He is sexually active but wears condoms during all sexual experiences. What is the most likely diagnosis? Gonorrhea. Chlamydiaou Answered Scabies. Correct Answer Pediculosis. This is a common presentation of genital lice. Question 15 1 / 1 pts Mary, age 82, presents with several eye problems. She states that her eyes are always dry and look “sunken in.” What do you suspect? Correct! Normal age-related changes. Hypothyroidism. A detached retina. Cushing syndrome. Dryness of the eyes and the appearance of “sunken” eyes are normal age-related changes. [Show Less]
NR 511 Week 2 Quiz: Advanced Pharmacology Question 1 0 / 1 pts A 67-year old female on multiple medications for chronic conditions was just diagnose... [Show More] d with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In teaching the patient about the disease, what medication should the clinician recommend that the patient refrain from using? Correct Answer Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Oral contraceptives. Antibiotics. Antifungals. Clients with GERD should avoid taking NSAIDs because they tend to aggravate the already irritated gastric mucosa. Question 2 1 / 1 pts When the Weber test is performed with a tuning fork to assess hearing and there is no lateralization, the clinician should document this finding as: Correct! A normal finding. Perceptive deafness. Nerve damage. Conductive deafness. A Weber test assesses hearing by bone conduction. With normal hearing, sound is heard equally well in both ears, meaning there is no lateralization. Question 3 1 / 1 pts A 26-year-old male recently returned from a camping trip with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. He reports that he only ate vegetables from his garden that he canned prior to his outing. Which of the following pathogens might be causing his symptoms? Staphylococcus. Campylobacter jejuni. Clostridium perfringens.orrect! Clostridium botulinum. C botulinum is an anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus that produces toxins. It is widely distributed in the soil and vegetation. Improperly processed home-canned low-acid vegetables and contaminated meats are the usual cause of food-borne botulism. Question 4 1 / 1 pts A 29-year-old female just returned from Central America with traveler’s diarrhea and presents to the clinic for evaluation. Which of the following is the best treatment? Metronidazole (Flagyl). Gastric lavage.orrect! Supportive care. Penicillin antibiotics. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of traveler’s diarrhea, which occurs after ingesting contaminated food or water. It is usually self-limiting, requiring no treatment other than supportive care. It is common in developing countries. Traveler’s diarrhea caused by E coli used to be frequently treated with a 3- to 5-day course of a quinolone antibiotic, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro). Question 5 1 / 1 pts A 75-year-old female presents to your office complaining of dizziness and ringing in both ears for 1 day. She describes the dizziness as feeling like "the room is spinning". On physical exam, the Rinne test reveals that air conduction is greater than bone conduction bilaterally. The Weber test reveals lateralization to the left. She is unable to hear the examiner's whisper on the right side but can hear the whisper on the left side. What is the next step in helping this patient’s symptoms? Refer the patient to the Emergency Room. Start her on high-dose Augmentinect! Start the patient on a low-salt diet, prescribe meclizine for vertigo and refer her to an ENT specialist. Order a computed tomography (CT) scan to rule out acoustic neuroma. Meniere's disease is characterized by vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. The patient self-reports vertigo and tinnitus while the results of the Weber, Rinne, and whisper test indicate sensorineural hearing loss on the right. Meniere disease is diagnosed based on history and the exclusion of other conditions as well. Referral to ENT is warranted to rule out other etiologies. The treatment for symptoms of Meniere disease is both dietary and pharmacological. Antibiotics are not indicated, nor is it necessary to send the patient to the Emergency Room. A CT scan would not help to relieve the patient's symptoms. UnansweredQuestion 6 0 / 1 pts In a young child, unilateral purulent rhinitis is most often caused by: A foreign body. An allergic reaction. A bacterial infection. A viral infection. In a young child, unilateral purulent rhinitis is most often caused by a foreign body. The key word here is unilateral. UnansweredQuestion 7 0 / 1 pts A 38-year-old male patient has recently had an ileostomy for ulcerative colitis. Which self-care measures should the clinician teach him about to relieve food blockage? Take a hot shower or tub bath. Lie in a supine position. Drink cold fluids. Massage the peristomal area. Self-care measures to relieve food blockage in a client with an ileostomy include massaging the peristomal area, which may stimulate peristalsis and fecal elimination; assuming a knee-chest position to reduce intra-abdominal pressure; taking a warm shower or tub bath to relax the abdominal muscles; and drinking warm fluids or grape juice to produce a mild cathartic effect. UnansweredQuestion 8 0 / 1 pts A 30-year-old male presents to the clinic with intermittent diarrhea. He is pretty sure that the antacids taken for heartburn are the cause since the loose stools always occur within 30 minutes after taking them. How should the clinician respond? “Antacids contain caffeine, which decreases bowel transit time.” “Antacids contain sorbitol or mannitol, which are sugars that aren’t absorbed and can cause fluid to be drawn into the bowel.” “Antacids contain fructose, which may not be totally absorbed, resulting in fluid being drawn into the bowel.” “Antacids may contain magnesium, which decreases bowel transit time and may contain poorly absorbed salts that draw fluid into the bowel.” Antacids may contain magnesium, which decreases bowel transit time and may contain poorly absorbed salts that result in an osmotic draw of fluid into the bowel resulting in diarrhea. UnansweredQuestion 9 0 / 1 pts A 52-year-old female is suspected of having a gastric ulcer and will undergo an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). She is concerned because she heard that gastric ulcers can be malignant. How should the clinician respond? “Don’t worry. Gastric ulcers are not cancerous.” “You have about a 50% chance of having gastric cancer from your ulcer.” “Even if it is cancer, surgery is 100% successful.” “About 95% of gastric ulcers are benign.” About 95% of gastric ulcers are benign even though some of these seem to look malignant on x-ray. Question 10 1 / 1 pts Which medications used to treat nausea and vomiting works by affecting the chemoreceptor trigger zone, thereby stimulating upper gastrointestinal motility and increasing lower esophageal sphincter pressure? Anticholinergics, such as scopolamine (Donnatal). orrect! Antidopaminergic and cholinergic agents, such as metoclopramide (Reglan). Antidopaminergic agents, such as prochlorperazine (Compazine). Tetrahydrocannabinols, such as dronabinol (Marinol). Metoclopramide (Reglan) is used for diabetic gastroparesis and postoperative nausea and vomiting. It works by affecting the chemoreceptor trigger zone, thereby stimulating upper gastrointestinal motility and increasing lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Question 11 1 / 1 pts A 72-year-old male patient presents to the clinic for his annual physical. He states that he is worried because he only has a bowel movement every three days. How should the clinician respond? “You should have at least three stools per week.” “You should defecate once a day.” orrect! “There is no such thing as a ‘normal’ pattern of defecation.” “You should have two to three stools per day.” There is no such thing as a “normal” pattern of defecation. Patterns of defecation vary widely and may in part be affected by dietary habits, fluid intake, bacteria in the stool, psychological stress, or voluntary postponement of defecation. Defecating every third day could be the routine pattern for Simon. He should be questioned if this is routine for him. Question 12 1 / 1 pts Nausea is difficult to discern in a young child. What question should the clinician ask to determine if a child has nausea? “Are you nauseous?” “Are you sick to your tummy?” “Are you eating the way you normally eat?”orrect! “Are you hungry?” To elicit information concerning nausea in a young child, ask the child about hunger because a young child cannot usually differentiate between hunger and mild nausea. Question 13 1 / 1 pts The antibiotic of choice for recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) and/or treatment failure in children is: Correct! Amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate (Augmentin). Amoxicillin (Amoxil) Azithromycin (Zithromax). Prednisone (Deltasone). The antibiotic of choice for recurrent AOM or treatment failure is amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate (Augmentin). Question 14 1 / 1 pts A 21-year-old female patient presents to the clinic for pre-operative tonsillectomy clearance. She has heard about permanent taste changes after a tonsillectomy and is concerned. What should the clinician tell her? “Your ability to recognize sweet from salty taste will be altered for life.” “You will have some alterations, but we’ll have to wait and see how you are affected personally.”Correct! “You may notice a slight difference initially, but there are no lasting changes in taste.” “About half of the patients have some permanent alterations in the sense of taste.” Although some clients report a significant subjective drop in taste function following surgery, none have ongoing taste dysfunction. Question 15 1 / 1 pts An 82-year-old female has been diagnosed with irritable bowel, chronic constipation, and diverticulosis following a colonoscopy. Which pharmacological agent should the clinician recommend? Correct! Bulking agents. Stool softeners. Lubricants. Laxatives. Bulking agents, such as psyllium preparations or methylcellulose preparations, are used for irritable bowel, chronic constipation, and diverticulosis. Quiz Score: 10 out of 15 [Show Less]

How an insurer evaluates the need for an ordered diagnostic test. The phrase usual and customary refers to the comparison of charges with other like charges for services and supplies received in the immediate vicinity as well as in a broader geographic area. Question 2 1 / 1 pts What must you do as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) before billing for visits? Correct! Obtain a provider number and familiarize yourself with the rules and policies of the third-party payer. Provide evidence of continuing medical education Obtain a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) number. Establish a collaborative agreement with a physician. To bill your clients for services, you must obtain a provider number and familiarize yourself with the rules and policies of each payor. Question 3 1 / 1 pts Which one of the following is true regarding the importance of documentation? Correct! It allows you to communicate your findings to other providers and serves as a record for the visit. It is only important in order to bill the patient for your service. It is only important for defending yourself in the event of a law suit. It allows you to communicate your findings with the general public. The purposes of documentation are to record the patient's report of symptoms, PMH, lifestyle and family factors, positive and negative findings on physical exam and the provider's plan. Documentation is important for billing purposes, communication with other providers and in the case litigation. Question 4 0 / 1 pts Which of the following statements does not belong in the past medical history portion of your chart note? Correct Answer Your patient had lab work done at their last appointment; CBC was normal. Your patient’s father passed away from lung cancer. Your patient had a cholecystectomy 3 years prior.ou Answered Your patient has an allergy to penicillin. Allergies, family history and surgical history all belong in the history portion of your note. Test results are objective findings and should be in the diagnostic tests (objective) section of the note. Question 5 1 / 1 pts In relation to writing a patient encounter note, the acronym SOAP stands for which of the following? Correct! Subjective, objective, assessment, plan. Symptoms, observations, assessment, plan. Symptoms, objective findings, assessment, plan. Subjective, outward findings, assessment, plan. The acronym SOAP stands for subjective, objective, assessment and plan. Question 6 0 / 1 pts Most health maintenance organizations (HMOs) use a reimbursement mechanism called capitation. What does this mean?You Answer The HMO reimburses the provider on a fee-for-service basis. The HMO is not responsible for provider reimbursement. The HMO reimburses the provider only if the patient has paid their deductible. Correct Answer The HMO reimburses the provider a predetermined fee per client per month based on the client’s age and sex. The reimbursement mechanism called capitation that some HMOs use is one in which the HMO reimburses the provider a set fee per client per month based on the client's age and sex. HMOs are prepaid, comprehensive systems of health benefits that combine both financing and delivery of services to subscribers. They may pay providers on a capitated or fee-for-service basis. Question 7 1 / 1 pts A screening test identified correctly identified 80 individuals who did not have breast cancer out of 100 individuals that were known to be free of the disease (true negatives). Thus, the test failed to recognize 20 individuals who did not have breast cancer. What is the specificity of the screening test? 40%. 60%. 20%.orrect! 80%. Specificity measures a screening test's ability to recognize individuals who are non-diseased or those with negative reactions (true negatives). It can be represented by a reaction of tested negatives to the total number of known, or true, negatives. In this case, the number of negatives that the test recognized was 80, with the total number of known, or true, negatives being 100. 80 out of 100=80%. Question 8 0 / 1 pts What is an Accountable Care Organization (ACO)? A bundling of pilot organizations.u Answered A payment system for episodes of care to save money for the health care system. Correct Answer A group of providers and suppliers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated, high-quality care to Medicare patients. A risk pool that saves the overall organization money and maximizes reimbursement. ACOs are groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care providersd who come together voluntarily to give coordinated, high-quality care to the Medicare patients they serve. Coordinated care helps ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, with the goal of avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. When an ACO succeeeds in delivering high quality care and spending health care dollars more wisely, it will share in the savings it achieves for the Medicare program. Question 9 1 / 1 pts Denial of provider status is something that seriously impedes a nurse practitioner’s ability to practice. If that occurs, some steps one can take include: “Bashing” the organization to others and contacting an attorney.ct! Writing letters to the organization’s president and chief executive officer (CEO), activating others to lobby on your behalf, and reapplying after a 6-month period. Requesting that your clients lobby on your behalf by going to the newspapers. Requesting that your physician colleagues intervene on your behalf by writing critical letters to the organization in question. There are many steps a nurse practitioner can take if denied provider status by a 3rd party reimburser. First, one should ascertain the reasons for this stance and determine whether it is the same across the board regarding nurse practitioners. If it is a consistent policy, attempt to find out why and begin marshaling evidence to overturn this stance in a constructive way. This may include having both clients and physician colleagues “lobby” on your behalf. Find out who the decision maker in the organization is and attempt to communicate directly with that person. Ascertain if there is a law in the state mandating this policy. Be prepared to testify at hearings and speak out at community meetings about this issue. Request language changes that specify “ask your doctor” and lobby to have these changes adopted. Reapplication in 6 months is reasonable. Question 10 1 / 1 pts Which of the following statements about Medicaid is true? Medicaid pays for family planning services, dental care, and eyeglasses. Medicaid is a federal plan created to provide care for indigent persons. Eligibility requirements for Medicaid are mandated by the Health Care Financing Administration.rrect! Medicaid is a program for the indigent financed jointly by the federal and state governments. Financed jointly by the federal and state governments, Medicaid is a program created to pay for health care services for the indigent. Minimally, Medicaid must provide inpatients, skilled nursing facility, and home care; physician services, outpatients care; family planning services; and periodic sreening, detection, and treatment of children under age 12. Question 11 1 / 1 pts Which of the following is the best method for evaluating the efficacy of a new clinical intervention? Correct! A randomized controlled trial. A descriptive study. A correlational study A case report. The best method for evaluating the efficacy of a new clinical intervention is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Question 12 0 / 1 pts The Affordable Care Act (ACA) which passed in 2010 has a number of provisions, including the establishment of health exchanges. The purpose of a health insurance exchange is to: You Answered Reduce the overall out-of-pocket cost of health insurance to the consumer. Correct Answer Create an online marketplace for the sale and purchase of health insurance for consumers. Reduce the number of consumer health claims to the insurer. Require each state to sell health insurance policies to consumers. The health insurance exchange was created to provide a website for consumers to compare health insurance policies. Therefore, it is a marketplace for the sale and purchase of health insurance for consumers. Question 13 1 / 1 pts Which of the following demonstrates an objective finding? Correct! Respiratory rate. Shortness of breath Ankle pain. Headache. Respiratory rate is the only objective finding which can be measured. Question 14 1 / 1 pts Which of the following demonstrates a subjective finding? Extremity edema. Pulse rate.rrect! Pain level. Eye color. Pain is a subjective finding, as patients self-report their level of pain. All other options are objective findings. Question 15 1 / 1 pts An 81-year-old patient presents for a physical. She recently had a fall and now has problems walking up her stairs. The only restroom in the house is on the second floor. She also has a flight of stairs outside her house she has to navigate in order to reach street level, and this is difficult for her. Where does this information belong in your chart note? Plan.rrect! Functional health problems. Review of systems. Assessment. The patient is having trouble with her normal routine and daily life due to her recent fall, so this information belongs in the functional health patterns section.

NR 511 Week 7 Quiz: Advanced Pharmacology Question 1 1 / 1 pts A patient is being treated for erectile dysfunction. The patient is morbidly obese and... [Show More] is also being treated for a coagulopathy. Which of the following medications would be contraindicated? Subcutaneous pellet testosterone (Testopel). Topical testosterone (AndroGel).orrect! Alprostadil (Caverject). Sildenafil (Viagra). The vasoactive injectable alprostadil (Caverject) should not be used in patients with sickle cell anemia, coagulopathy, severe cardiovascular disease, myeloma, leukemia, morbid obesity, or penile deformity, fibrosis, or implants. Question 2 1 / 1 pts A 32-year-old male appears with a rapid onset of unilateral scrotal pain radiating up to the groin and flank. The nurse practitioner is trying to differentiate between epididymitis and testicular torsion. Which test should be the provider’s first choice? X-ray. Physical examination. Technetium scan.orrect! Ultrasound. If your client has a rapid onset of unilateral scrotal pain radiating up to the groin and flank and you are trying to differentiate between epididymitis and testicular torsion, an ultrasound is useful for determining whether the swelling is in the testis or the epididymis and should be your first choice. Question 3 0 / 1 pts A 51-year-old male requests a prescription for sildenafil (Viagra). He says that the only medication he takes is isosorbide mononitrate (Monoket) oral tablets and that he has diabetes which is controlled with diet alone. What should the nurse practitioner tell him? Correct Answer “Viagra is contraindicated with isosorbide mononitrate; let’s discuss other options.” “I’d better refer you to a urologist.”u Answered “Let’s try a sample and see how you do.” “Because of your history of diabetes, we can’t use it.” Because sexual stimulation leads to the release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum of the penis and sildenafil (Viagra) potentiates that release, there is a double hypotensive effect between sildenafil and a nitric oxide donor such as isosorbide mononitrate (Monoket, Imdur, and Ismo). Therefore, the use of sildenafil with Monoket is contraindicated. Question 4 1 / 1 pts A 72-year-old unmarried, sexually active man, presents to the clinic with complaints of hesitancy, urgency, and occasional uncontrolled dribbling. Although the nurse practitioner suspects benign prostatic hyperplasia, what else should the differential diagnosis include? Antihistamine use. Renal calculi. Detrusor hyperreflexia.Correct! Urethral stricture. Urethral strictures may develop as a result of sexually transmitted diseases and should be considered in sexually active individuals (primarily males) no matter their age. Antihistamine use generally will result in hesitancy and urinary retention but not incontinence. Question 5 1 / 1 pts A 54-year-old male is complaining of erectile dysfunction. He also has a condition that has reduced arterial blood flow to his penis. The most common cause of this condition is: orrect! Diabetes mellitus. Multiple sclerosis. Parkinson disease. Epilepsy. About 50% of men who have had diabetes for longer than 6 years develop erectile dysfunction to some extent as a result of pathological changes in the vascular wall that lead to a reduction of arterial blood flow to the penis. Many other conditions can cause erectile dysfunction as well. These include cerebrovascular accidents (ie, strokes or brain attacks), spinal cord injury, temporal lobe epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, angina, chronic renal failure, and Parkinson disease. Question 6 1 / 1 pts A 58-year-old male has been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction and says that a friend told him about a method that uses a constricting ring around the base of the penis. What is he referring to? Surgery Intracavernous injection therapy. Urethral suppositories. orrect! An external vacuum device. An external vacuum device is a viable method for alleviating erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause of the disorder. A plastic cylinder is placed around the penis, a vacuum pump causes cavernosal engorgement, and a constrictor ring is applied around the base of the penis, allowing the client to hold an erection for 30 minutes. Question 7 1 / 1 pts A 52-year-old male patient is in a new relationship and is not sure whether his erectile dysfunction is organic or is caused by stress about his performance. What simple test could the clinician suggest to determine if he has the ability to have an erection? Intracavernous injection. Penile duplex ultrasonography. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Correct! Nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) test. The NPTR test is a simple test the client may do at home by himself to determine if he has the ability to have a nocturnal erection, which would rule out an organic cause of erectile dysfunction. Have the client place the simple device on his penis before going to bed. This device records the frequency, as well as the rigidity, of erections. Question 8 1 / 1 pts A 72-year-old male presents to the office for follow-up of several episodes of orthostatic hypotension. After obtaining a review of systems and a digital rectal examination, it also appears that he has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms. The nurse practitioner reviews his recent ultrasound evaluation, which reports a prostate volume of over 40 mL, and the results of the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom index for BPH, which shows his score to be 12. Based on the preceding information and the patient’s desire for noninvasive medical therapy, what management should he be offered? Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline). Doxazosin (Cardura).orrect! Finasteride (Proscar). Prazosin (Minipress). Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor and is recommended for individuals with a prostate volume greater than 40 mL to help decrease its size. Question 9 1 / 1 pts A 32-year-old male presents with complaints of a scrotal mass; however, the scrotum is so edematous that it is difficult to assess. How would the nurse practitioner (NP) best determine whether the condition is a hernia or a hydrocele?rrect! Bowel sounds may be heard over a hernia. The NP can transilluminate a hernia. The NP can always return a hernia’s contents to the abdominal cavity. With a hydrocele, a bulge appears on straining. Hydroceles can be illuminated to show the full size and shape, which assist in the diagnosis, however hernias cannot. Hernias, if not incarcerated, will be able to be returned to the abdominal cavity. Buldging upon straining is not one of the characteristics associated with hydrocele but it is with inguinal hernia. While ultrasound would definitively diagnosis the presence of abdominal contents in the scrotum, understanding the pathophysiology of an inguinal hernia is necessary to understand that bowel sounds would be audible over a hernia. All of the other choices are incorrect. While a scrotal ultrasound would definitively confirm the diagnosis, this is not one of the options available. Question 10 1 / 1 pts Regular testicular self-exams have not been studied enough to show if they lower the risk of dying from testicular cancer. This is why the American Cancer Society and other agencies do not have a recommendation about regular testicular self-exams for all men. Still, some practitioners do recommend that all men examine their testicles monthly after reaching puberty. In teaching a patient how to do a testicular self-examination, which of the following should the clinician advise? “Examine your testicles when you are cold because this makes them more sensitive.” “If you feel firmness above and behind the testicle, make an appointment.”orrect! “Make an appointment if you note any hard lumps directly on the testicle, regardless of whether they are tender.” “Make sure your hands are dry to create friction.” If you advise men to perform a monthly testicular self-examination, instruct them to call if they notice any hard lumps directly on the testicle, regardless of whether the lumps are tender. If parts of the testicle above and behind feel rather firm, this is the epididymis and is normal. The spermatic cord, a small, round, movable tube, extends up from the epididymis and also feels firm and smooth. Testicles should be examined with soapy hands when taking a warm shower or bath to allow easy mnipulation of the tissue. Question 11 1 / 1 pts A 62-year-old male has a low International Prostate Symptom Score for lower urinary tract symptoms associated with his benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The nurse practitioner should recommend: rrect! No treatment at this time. Balloon dilation. Immediate referral to urology. Starting an alpha blocker. Asymptomatic clients with BPH rarely require treatment. Watchful waiting is an appropriate strategy for following the progression of the disease and the development of any complications. Question 12 1 / 1 pts A male patient presents to the clinic for evaluation of infertility. Subjectively, the patient complains of pain and fullness of the testes and states, “My testicles feel like a bag of worms.” On physical examination, the nurse practitioner notes tortuous veins posterior to and above the testes that extend up into the external inguinal ring. Based on the preceding assessment, the nurse practitioner refers the patient to urology with a diagnosis of: Orchitis. Hydrocele. Urethritis.orrect! Varicocele. A varicocele is an abnormal degree of venous dilation of the pampiniform plexus in the spermatic cord above the testes, which results in pain and swelling. A patient often describes the sensation as feeling like a “bag of worms.” Question 13 1 / 1 pts A 63-year-old man presents to your office with hematuria, hesitancy, and dribbling. Digital rectal examination (DRE) reveals a smooth, moderately enlarged prostate. The client’s prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is 1.2. What is the most appropriate management strategy at this time? Referring the client to urology. Recommending saw palmetto extract. Prescribing an antibiotic.orrect! Prescribing an alpha-adrenergic blocker. The patient’s symptoms appear to be related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and not a urinary tract infection. An alpha-adrenergic blocker will relax the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder, which will improve flow and relieve symptoms. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be successfully treated by primary health care providers, and a referral is not appropriate until standard treatment is no longer effective. Question 14 1 / 1 pts A 15-year-old male comes to the clinic in acute distress with “belly pain.” When obtaining his history, the nurse practitioner (NP) finds that he fell off his bike this morning and has vomited. Upon closer examination, the NP determines the belly pain to be left-sided groin pain or pain in his left testicle. He is afebrile and reports no dysuria. Which of the following diagnoses is most likely? Varicocele.orrect! Testicular torsion Epididymitis. Hydrocele. Testicular torsion is a condition in which the testis twists on the spermatic cord, thereby compromising blood flow to the testicle. This is a surgical emergency. Examination usually reveals a tender scrotal mass high in the hemiscrotum, and there is frequently a reactive hydrocele around the testis, obscuring anatomical detail. The scrotum can become erythematous and edematous. The cremasteric reflex is frequently blunted on the side of the torsion. Question 15 1 / 1 pts A patient’s chief complaint is pain and heaviness in the scrotum. The nurse practitioner notes swelling of the testes, along with warm scrotal skin. Which of the following diagnoses is most probable? Epididymitis. Testicular torsion.orrect! Orchitis. Cryptorchidism. Orchitis refers to an acute, painful onset of swelling of the testicle accompanied by warm scrotal skin. The client usually complains of a heavy feeling in the scrotum. It is typically unilateral but after 1 week may progress to the other testicle. [Show Less]

The clinician suspects strep throat and performs a rapid strep test that is negative. What would the next step be? Student Answer: The patient should be instructed to rest and increase fluid intake as the infection is most likely viral and will resolve without antibiotic treatment. Because the patient does not have strep throat, the clinician should start broad spectrum antibiotics in order to cover the offending pathogen. A throat culture should be performed to confirm the results of the rapid strep test. The patient should be treated with antibiotics for strep throat as the rapid strep test is not very sensitive.

NR 511 Week 6 Quiz: Advanced Pharmacology Question 1 1 / 1 pts A client with hyperthyroidism presents with a complaint of a “gritty” feeling in her ... [Show More] eyes. Over the past week, her visual acuity has diminished, and her ability to see colors has changed. She also has a feeling of pressure behind her eyes. The next step for the nurse practitioner is to: Order a total thyroxine (T4). Correct! Refer the client for immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist. Order a thyroid ultrasound. Prescribe a beta-adrenergic blocker. The practitioner should refer the client for an immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist. Clinically recognized Graves ophthalmopathy occurs in about 50% of cases of Graves disease. A client with Graves orbitopathy with these complaints is at risk of blindness if there is compression of the optic nerve. Additional symptoms include photophobia and diplopia. Autoantibodies present in Graves disease can cause increased muscle thickness in the eye, leading to edema and compression of the optic nerve. Fundal exam may reveal disk swelling. This is an emergency situation that may require hospitalization and treatment with prednisone to diminish the inflammation. Artificial tears are also helpful. In 75% of clients, the onset of Graves orbitopathy occurs within a year before or after the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis but can sometimes precede or follow thyrotoxicosis by several years. Question 2 1 / 1 pts A 23-year-old female complains of palpitations that started a few weeks ago; they occur 2 to 4 times a day and last 5 to 10 minutes. She feels nervous and is having trouble sleeping. Her stools have been frequent (1-3 per day) and loose. She is taking levothyroxine 150 µg daily. Her labs indicate free thyroxine (FT4) 2.28 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 0.022. She has a history of Graves disease and had radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment a few months ago. She has been on thyroid replacement for 2 months. Based on these findings, what should the clinician do next? Correct! Decrease the levothyroxine dosage. Increase the levothyroxine dosage. Start propranolol every 8 hours. Keep the dosage the same. It appears that she may be overcorrected. The usual dosage of thyroid replacement is 1.6 µg/kg/d. She could skip a dose and then resume at a lower dosage of 125 to 137 µg per day. In an older individual, the lower dose would be preferred because overcorrection can lead to atrial fibrillation. She should take the levothyroxine on an empty stomach with a full glass of water and wait 30 minutes before eating for maximum absorption. Question 3 1 / 1 pts A 72-year-old obese male has gout. When teaching him about diet, which of the following should the clinician advise? "A diet high in red meat will prevent formation of kidney stones." Correct! “Fluid intake should exceed three thousand milliliters daily to prevent formation of uric acid kidney stones.” “Keeping your weight stable, even if you are a little overweight, is better than fluctuating.” “You must go on a restricted, very low calorie diet to effect immediate change.” Fluid intake should exceed 3000 mL daily to prevent formation of uric acid kidney stones. Clients should avoid dehydration because it may precipitate an acute attack. Question 4 1 / 1 pts A 24-year-old female is preparing for radioactive iodine therapy to treat Graves disease. Which test must she undergo first? Basal metabolism rate. Lithium level. Correct! Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. Serum calcium. Radioactive iodine therapy is the most commonly used treatment in the United States for Graves disease (hyperthyroidism); however, it is contraindicated during pregnancy. Therefore, for women, a pregnancy test (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) needs to be performed before initiating therapy. Women of childbearing age should also be told to delay conception for a few months after radioactive iodine therapy. It is also contraindicated in women who are breastfeeding. Older adults or clients at risk of developing cardiac complications may be pretreated with antithyroid drugs (ATDs) before therapy to deplete the thyroid gland of stored hormone, thereby minimizing the risk of exacerbation of hyperthyroidism because of radioactive iodine (131I)–induced thyroiditis. Question 5 1 / 1 pts A low thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can lead to: Brittle hair. Bradycardia. Correct! Osteoporosis. Weight gain. Hyperthyroidism presents with a suppressed TSH and elevated free thyroxine (FT4). Manifestations include weight loss, tachycardia, diarrhea, anxiety, and warm, silky skin. The increased metabolic state of hyperthyroidism can cause cardiac dysrhythmias and osteoporosis. The clinical manifestations can also occur when there is excessive thyroid replacement. Question 6 1 / 1 pts What is the medication of choice for an initial acute attack of gout? A corticosteroid. Allopurinol (Zyloprim). Colchicine. Correct! A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The medication of choice for an initial acute attack of gout is an NSAID. Indomethacin (Indocin) is the most commonly prescribed NSAID for this use. An initial dose of 50 to 75 mg is given, followed by 25 to 50 mg every 8 hours for 5 to 10 days. An alternative to indomethacin is naproxen (Naprosyn). The first dose of naproxen is 750 mg, followed by 250 mg every 8 hours for 5 to 10 days. Question 7 1 / 1 pts A client presents with clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism. The differential diagnosis includes Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis. Which of the following findings is consistent with subacute thyroiditis? A 24-hour radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) demonstrating a “cold” nodule. Correct! A 24-hour radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) demonstrating decreased uptake. A fine-needle aspiration is required for diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis. A 24-hour radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) demonstrating increased uptake. A 24-hour radioactive iodine uptake helps establish the functional status of the thyroid gland. In subacute thyroiditis, the radioactive iodine uptake is low. Subacute thyroiditis produces symptoms of thyrotoxicosis via the release of preformed thyroid hormones in response to an inflammatory response after an acute infection. Subacute thyroiditis is usually self-limiting and is treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), beta-adrenergic antagonists, and, in severe cases, corticosteroids. Thyroid function should be monitored because a state of hypothyroidism can occur. Question 8 1 / 1 pts A 6-year-old girl was bitten by a friend’s dog.
