Vessels Assessment
Question 1 See full question

After teaching a group of students about blood flow through the heart, the
instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students
state that after being received by the atria, the blood goes to which of the
following?
You Selected:

• Ventricles

Correct response:

• Ventricles

Explanation:

Blood flows from the atria into the ventricles via the atrioventricular valves.
The chordate tendineae are collagen fibers that anchor the AV valve flaps to
the papillary muscle within the ventricles. The semilunar valves are located at
the exit of each ventricle at the beginning of the great vessels. The
precordium is the anterior chest area that overlies the heart and great
vessels.

Question 2 See full question

A nursing student is reviewing the electrical conduction of the heart. The student
is correct in identifying the sinoatrial node of the heart as which of the following?
You Selected:

• Pacemaker

Correct response:

• Pacemaker

Explanation:

The sinoatrial node is often called the pacemaker of the heart because it
generates impulses that are conducted through the heart. The impulse is
conduced across the

,atria to the AV node, which then relays the impulse to the AV bundle or bundle of
His. From here the impulse travels down the right and left bundle branches and
the Purkinje fibers in the myocardium of both ventricles. All these structures
make up the conduction system of the heart.

Question 3 See full question

Which of the following would the nurse suspect when a client with a cardiac
condition complains of not sleeping well and having to get up frequently at night
to urinate?
You Selected:

• Increased urination at rest may indicate heart failure.

Correct response:

• Increased urination at rest may indicate heart failure.

Explanation:

With heart failure, increased renal perfusion during periods of rest or recumbency
may cause nocturia. Nocturia does not indicate that the heart is working
efficiently. Depending on the client's fatigue level from not sleeping well, as well
as other complaints, the client's ability to perform activities of daily living may be
affected. If the client is experiencing dyspnea at night, he or she will likely be
sleeping on more than one pillow at night.

Question 4 See full question

A nurse is preparing a presentation for a local community group about coronary
artery disease and culture. Which information would the nurse include?

, You Selected:

• Hypertension is more prevalent in African Americans.

Correct response:

• Hypertension is more prevalent in African Americans.

Explanation:

Ethnicity plays a role in developing coronary heart disease. African Americans,
Mexican Americans, American Indians, native Hawaiians, and some Asian
Americans have a higher risk of heart disease thought to be due to more
severe hypertension and higher rates of obesity and diabetes in these
populations

Question 5 See full question

After teaching a group of students about the traditional areas of auscultation of
heart sounds, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when
the students identify which location as Erb's point?
You Selected:

• Third intercostal space at the left sternal border

Correct response:

• Third intercostal space at the left sternal border

Explanation:

Erb's point is found at the third intercostal space at the left sternal border. The
mitral (apical) area is located at the fifth intercostal space near the left
midclavicular line. The aortic area is located at the second intercostal space at
the right sternal border. The pulmonic area is located at the second or third
intercostal space at the left sternal border.
