Question 1 of 5

The AGACNP recognizes that which of the following diagnostic studies is essential in all cases of acute abdomen?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ultrasonography is considered essential in all cases of acute abdomen because it is a valuable tool in evaluating various abdominal organs non-invasively. It can quickly identify common causes of acute abdomen such as cholecystitis, pancreatitis, appendicitis, and other intra-abdominal pathologies. Ultrasonography also has the advantage of being radiation-free and can be performed rapidly at the bedside, making it a preferred initial diagnostic modality in the evaluation of acute abdominal pain. Abdominal radiograph, contrast radiography, and chest radiography may have limited utility in the evaluation of acute abdomen compared to ultrasonography.

Melanie is a 31-year-old patient who is being evaluated following a routine urinalysis that revealed microscopic hematuria. She was between menses and has no other identifiable explanation for hematuria. She has no significant medical history and otherwise is without complaint.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Upper urinary imaging is the appropriate next step in the workup for Melanie based on the presentation of microscopic hematuria with no other identifiable explanation. Upper urinary imaging, such as an ultrasound or CT scan, can help evaluate the upper urinary tract, including the kidneys and ureters, to investigate potential causes of hematuria. This step is commonly recommended before proceeding to invasive procedures like cystoscopy or consultation with a urologist. It allows for a non-invasive assessment of the upper urinary system to identify any potential abnormalities that may be causing the hematuria in the patient.
