Question

A 20-year-old male complains of being fatigued for the past week. The physical examination is significant for anterior and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy and right and left upper quadrant abdominal tenderness. A white blood cell differential is significant for lymphocytosis with reactive forms. Which of the following additional findings does the nurse practitioner anticipate?

Pharyngitis with exudate
Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy
Diffuse maculopapular rash
Marked sinus tenderness

Answer 1

The nurse practitioner would anticipate the additional finding of supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional finding that the nurse practitioner would anticipate in the case of a 20-year-old male presenting with fatigue, anterior and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy, and right and left upper quadrant abdominal tenderness, and lymphocytosis with reactive forms on the white blood cell differential is Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy refers to the enlargement of lymph nodes located above the clavicles, which can be a sign of malignancy or metastasis.
