Neuropathic pain occurs from injury to or disease of thenervous system and is described as burning, shooting, or tingling. Referred pain is a kind ofvisceral pain that is localized, but not attributable to the involved organ. Visceral pain isrelated to an organ and is often referred and poorly localized.3.A patient is beginning treatment for chronic pain and is unable to tolerate nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs. What will the provider prescribe for this patient?a.A mixed opiate productb.A pure opioid compoundc.A referral for a nerve block procedured.A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)ANS: DUsing the three-step analgesic ladder, the provider should use step 1 medications that includeNSAIDs, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anticonvulsants.Since the patient cannot tolerate NSAIDs, an SSRI is an appropriate choice. The next step ifthese fail is a mixed opioid product. The third step is a pure opioid product. If medicationtherapy fails, a referral for nerve block may be necessary.

Which is animportant disease precaution for this person?a.Carrying chloroquine to take as neededb.Starting prophylactic doxycycline before travelc.Taking precautions against Chikungunya feverd.Understanding how Ebola virus is transmittedANS: BMalaria is a greater concern worldwide than Ebola virus and Chikungunya fever, althoughboth are emerging diseases. Travelers should take antimalarial medications and, in this part ofAfrica, where there is widespread resistance to chloroquine, doxycycline is a better choice asprophylaxis. Even when chloroquine is appropriate, it must be taken prior to travel and not asneeded. Chikungunya fever is a disease of the Western Hemisphere, especially in theCaribbean. Ebola virus is epidemic in western Africa and not in Kenya.2.A patient who is planning international travel to a developing country asks the provider aboutvaccinations. Which is true about pretravel vaccines?a.Country-specific guidelines are provided by individual embassies.b.Malaria vaccine is the most important vaccine for worldwide travel.c.Requirements should be reviewed at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to travel.d.There are at leastfive requiNreUdRvSacIcNinGesTfBor.eCnOtryMinto certain countries.ANS: CPatients seeking immunizations prior to international travel should have these reviewed atleast 4 to 6 weeks prior so that antibody responses and completion of vaccine series mayoccur. Country-specific guidelines may be found on the CDC website. Malaria is notprevented by vaccine, but by prophylactic antimalarial drugs. There are only two vaccines thatare required.3.What is a goal of theHealthy Peopleinitiative?a.To increase a patient’s quality of lifeb.To create physical environments that promote proper healthc.To achieve health equality by eliminating disparitiesd.To provide free health care to those unable to pay for caree.To promote healthy behaviors across all life stagesANS: COverarching goals of theHealthy Peopleinitiative are to increase quality and length of life,free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; to achieve health equalityby eliminating disparities; to create social and physical environments that promote properhealth; and to promote increased quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviorsacross all life stages, all goals consistent with the definition of wellness.

The primary care provider determines that the patient has a previoushistory of asthma as a child and currently has frequent episodes of bronchitis. A physicalexamination is normal and pulmonary function tests and radiographs are negative. Whataction is correct?a.Reassure the patient about the normal findings.b.Refer the patient to an occupational health specialist.c.Request a workplace environmental assessment.d.Suggest that the patient follow up with a pulmonologist.ANS: BPatients with environmental exposure may not have symptoms or positive findings. Becausethis patient reports frequent bronchitis, this should be followed up with an occupational healthspecialist who can evaluate the degree of exposure and perform further testing. Normalfindings are not necessarily reassuring. The occupational specialist may request anenvironmental assessment. Pulmonologists are not trained in occupational health.MULTIPLE RESPONSE1.During a preplacement screening for a person hired for a job requiring heavy lifting, a primarycare provider notesthat the newNUemRpSloIyNeeGhTaBs.enCvOirMonmental allergies, a history ofgastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), recurrent eczema, a previous history of an anklefracture, and normal lower back strength and flexibility.

What will theprovider do?a.Evaluate for orthostatic hypotension.b.Obtain Doppler studies of lower extremity circulation.c.Reassure the patient that this is a normal finding.d.Refer the patient for a cardiologic exam.ANS: DDifferences in strength between radial and femoral pulses may indicate coarctation of theaorta and should be evaluated by a cardiologist. This finding does not indicate orthostatichypotension. The likelihood of decreased circulation is low in a young athlete.2.A high-school adolescent is being screened for fitness before participating in sports. Theadolescent has a normal examination and the examiner notes S1 and S2 heart sounds withoutmurmur, normal blood pressure, and equal pulses. The parent reports that the adolescent’sfather has a history or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which has been treated. What willthe provider do?a.Clear the adolescent to play sports.b.Perform an electrocardiogram.c.Refer the adolescent to a caNrdUioRlSogIisNt.GTB.COMd.Tell the adolescent that sports are not allowed.ANS: CA positive family history of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome requires physician consultationor referral before medical clearance can be given. The adolescent has a normal heart rate andphysical exam, so the ECG may not yield significant or useful results. The examiner cannotclear the adolescent without consulting with a specialist. The adolescent may be cleared forsports by the specialist.3.An overweight adolescent who takes metformin has type 2 diabetes with a HgA1C of 8.5%and asks about sports participation.

A cardiac monitor reveals a heart rate of 35beats per minute. Which medication may be used to stabilize this patient?a.Adenosineb.Amiodaronec.Atropined.EpinephrineANS: DEpinephrine is indicated if unstable bradycardia is caused by beta blockers. This patient issymptomatic and unstable and should be treated. Adenosine and amiodarone are used to treattachycardia. Atropine is used for some types of bradycardia, but not when induced by betablockers.2.A patient reports heart palpitation but no other symptoms and has no prior history ofcardiovascular disease. The clinic provider performs an electrocardiogram and notes atrialfibrillation and a heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Which is the initial course of action intreating this patient?a.Administer atenolol intravenously.b.Admit to the hospital for urgent cardioversion.c.Refer the patient to a cardioNloUgRisSt.INGTB.COMd.Initiate steps to begin anticoagulant therapy.ANS: CThis patient has no history of serious heart disease and does not have symptoms of chestpressure, acute MI, or congestive heart failure and may be referred to a cardiologist forevaluation and treatment but anticoagulant therapy to minimize the risk of clot formationshould be started initially. The 2014 AHA Guidelines for Atrial Fibrillation recommendshared decision-making in regard to anticoagulation based on relative risk of the patient forthromboembolic event. Atenolol is given IV for patients who are unstable; the advanced lifesupport treatment guidelines do not recommend treatment of tachycardia if the patient isstable. Urgent cardioversion is rarely needed if the heart rate is less than 150 beats per minuteunless there are underlying heart conditions.3.Which cardiac arrhythmia in an unstable patient requires unsynchronized shocks, ordefibrillation?a.Atrial fibrillationb.Atrial flutterc.Monomorphic ventricular tachycardiad.Polymorphic ventricular tachycardiaANS: DPolymorphic ventricular tachycardia should be treated as ventricular fibrillation withunsynchronized shocks.
