Midterm/ Final Ex am: NR 509 / NR509 (Latest 2023/2024 ) Advanced Physical Assessment Quiz Bank | Questions and Verified Answers with Rationales | Chamberlain College A patient has been diagnosed with venous stasis . Which of these findings would the nurse most likely observe? a. Unilateral cool foot b. Thin, shiny, atrophic skin c. Pallor of the toes and cyanosis of the nail beds d. Brownish discoloration to the skin of the lower leg Answer: D A brown discoloration occurs with chronic venous stasis as a result of hemosiderin deposits (a by-product of red blood cell degradation) . Pallor, cyanosis, atrophic skin, and unilateral coolness are all signs associated with arterial problems . The nurse is attempting to assess the femoral pulse in a patient who is obese . Which of these actions would be most approp riate? a. The patient is asked to assume a prone position . b. The patient is asked to bend his or her knees to the side in a froglike position . c. The nurse firmly presses against the bone with the patient in a semi -Fowler position . d. The nurse listens with a stethoscope for pulsations; palpating the pulse in an obese person is extremely difficult . Answer: B To help expose the femoral area, particularly in obese people, the nurse should ask the person to bend his or her knees to the side in a froglike position . When auscultating over a patient's femoral arteries, the nurse notices the presence of a bruit on the left side . The nurse knows that bruits : a. Are often associated with venous disease . b. Occur in the presence of lymphadenopathy . c. In the femoral arteries are caused by hypermetabolic states . d. Occur with turbulent blood flow, indicating partial occlusion . Answer: D A bruit occurs with turbulent blood flow and indicates partial occlusion of the artery . The other responses are not correct . . How should the nurse document mild, slight pitting edema the ankles of a pregnant patient? a. 1+/0-4+ b. 3+/0-4+ c. 4+/0-4+ d. Brawny edema Answer: A If pitting edema is present, then the nurse should grade it on a scale of 1+ (mild) to 4+ (severe) . Brawny edema appears as nonpitting edema and feels hard to the touch . A patient has hard, nonpitting e dema of the left lower leg and ankle . The right leg has no edema . Based on these findings, the nurse recalls that : a. Nonpitting, hard edema occurs with lymphatic obstruction . b. Alterations in arterial function will cause edem a. c. Phlebitis of a superficial vein will cause bilateral edem a. d. Long -standing arterial obstruction will cause pitting edem a. Answer: A Unilateral edema occurs with occlusion of a deep vein and with unilateral lymphatic o bstruction . With these factors, the edema is nonpitting and feels hard to the touch (brawny edema) . The sac that surrounds and protects the heart is called the : a. Pericardium . b. Myocardium . c. Endocardium . d. Pleural space . Answer: A The pericardium is a tough, fibrous double -walled sac that surrounds and protects the heart . It has two layers that contain a few milliliters of serous pericardial flui d. The direction of blood flow through the heart is best described by which of these? a. Vena cava right atrium right ventricle lungs pulmonary artery left atrium left ventricle b. Right atrium right ventricle pulmonary artery lungs pulmonary vein left atrium left ventricle c. Aorta right atr ium right ventricle lungs pulmonary vein left atrium left ventricle vena cava d. Right atrium right ventricle pulmonary vein lungs pulmonary artery left atrium left ventricle Answer: B Returning blood from the body empties into the right atrium and flows into the right ventricle and then goes to the lungs through the pulmonary artery . The lungs oxygenate the blood, and it is then returned to the left atrium through the pulmonary vein . The blood goes from there to the left ventricle and then out to the body through the aort a. 3. The nurse is reviewing the anatomy and physiologic functioning of the heart . Which statement best describes what is meant by atrial kick? a. The atria contract during systole and attempt to push against closed valves . b. Contraction of the atria at the beginning of diastole can be felt as a palpitation . c. Atrial kick is the pressure exerted against the atria as the ventricles contract during systole . d. The atria contract toward the end of diastole and push the remaining blood into the ventricles . Answer: D Toward the end of di astole, the atria contract and push the last amount of blood (approximately 25% of stroke volume) into the ventricles . This active filling phase is called presystole, or atrial systole, or sometimes the atrial kick . 4. When listening to heart soun ds, the nurse knows the valve closures that can be heard best at the base of the heart are : a. Mitral and tricuspi d. b. Tricuspid and aorti c. c. Aortic and pulmoni c. d. Mitral and pulmoni c. Answer: C The second heart sound (S2) occurs with the closure of the semilunar (aortic and pulmonic) valves and signals the end of systole . Although it is heard over all the precordium, the S2 is loudest at the base of the he art. 5. Which of these statements describes the closure of the valves in a normal cardiac cycle? a. The aortic valve closes slightly before the tricuspid valve . b. The pulmonic valve closes slightly before the aortic valve . c. The tricuspi d valve closes slightly later than the mitral valve . d. Both the tricuspid and pulmonic valves close at the same time . Answer: C Events occur just slightly later in the right side of the heart because of the route of my ocardial depolarization . As a result, two distinct components to each of the heart sounds exist, and sometimes they can be heard separately . In the first heart sound, the mitral component (M1) closes just before the tricuspid component (T1) . 6. The component of the conduction system referred to as the pacemaker of the heart is the : a. Atrioventricular (AV) node . b. Sinoatrial (SA) node . c. Bundle of His . d. Bundle branches . Answer: B Specialized cells in the SA node near the superior vena cava initiate an electrical impulse . Because the SA node has an intrinsic rhythm, it is called the pacemaker of the heart . 7. The electrical stimulus of the cardiac cycle follows which sequence? a. AV node SA node bundle of His b. Bundle of His AV node SA node c. SA node AV node bundle of His bundle branches d. AV node SA node bundle of His bundle branches Answer: D Specialized cells in the SA node near the superior vena cava initiate an electrical impulse . The current flows in an orderly sequence, first across the atria to the AV node low in the atrial septum . There it is delayed slightly, allowing the atria the time to contract before the ventricles are stimulated . Then the impulse travels to the bundle of His, the right and left bundle branches, and then through the ventricles . 8. The findings from an assessment of a 70 -year-old patient with swelling in his ankles include jugular venous pulsations 5 cm above the sternal angle when the head of his bed is elevated 45 degrees . The nurse knows that this finding indicates : a. Decreased fluid volume . b. Increased cardiac output . c. Narrowing of jugular veins .
