APEA 3P EXAM Prep Neuro Questions with
Correct Answers and Explanations
A patient who is 82 years old is brought into the clinic. His wife states that he was working in his garden
today and became disoriented and had slurred speech. She helped him back into the house, gave him cool
fluids, and within 15 minutes his symptoms resolved. He appears in his usual state of health when he is
examined. He states that although he was scared by the event, he feels fine now. How should the nurse
practitioner proceed?
Prescribe an aspirin daily.
Re-examine him tomorrow.
Send him to the emergency department.
Order an EKG.
This patient likely suffered a transient ischemic attack. He needs urgent evaluation with head CT and/or MRI,
ECG, lab work (CBC, PTT, lytes, creatinine, glucose, lipids and sedimentation rate); possible magnetic
resonance angiography, carotid ultrasound, and/or transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. He is at increased
risk of stroke within the first 48 hours after an event like this one. On initial evaluation, the most important
determination to be made is whether the etiology of the stroke or TIA is ischemic or hemorrhagic. After this
determination, treatment can begin. Unfortunately, this determination cannot be made in the clinic. The
patient needs urgent referral to a center where this evaluation and possible treatment can be performed.
The most common presenting sign of Parkinson’s disease is:
muscular rigidity.
tremor.
falling.
bradykinesia.
Approximately 70% of patients with Parkinson’s disease have tremor as the presenting symptom. The tremor
typically involves the hand but can involve the legs, jaw, lips, tongue. It seldom involves the head. Muscular
rigidity and bradykinesia are two less common presenting signs.
When should medications be initiated in a patient who is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease?
As soon as the disease is diagnosed
When symptoms interfere with life’s activities
When nonpharmacologic measures have been exhausted
After MRI and CT have ruled out stroke or tumor
The medications used to treat patients who have Parkinson’s disease do not prevent the progression of the
disease. Therefore, it is not necessary to start medications until symptoms interfere with the patient's quality
of life. Levodopa is often used initially at the lowest dose that helps a patient manage symptoms. It can be
titrated upward as needed. Orthostatic hypotension is a common side effect of levodopa, so blood pressure
should be monitored closely.
