Ventricle - CORRECT ANSWER Muscular pumping chamber
Myocardium - CORRECT ANSWER Muscular wall of the heart
Atrium - CORRECT ANSWER Reservoir for holding blood
Pericardium - CORRECT ANSWER Tough, fibrous, double-walled sac that surrounds
and protects the heart
S1 - CORRECT ANSWER Closure of atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid)
S2 - CORRECT ANSWER closure of semilunar laves (aortic and pulmonic)
Physiologic splitting - CORRECT ANSWER Aortic valve closing just before the
pulmonic valve
Paradoxical splitting - CORRECT ANSWER Closure of the aortic valve is abnormally
delayed so the pulmonic valve closure is heard first.
The examiner is palpating the apical impulse. The normal size of this impulse is
a. less than 1cm
b. about 2 to 2.5 cm
c. 3 cm
d. varies depending on the size of the person - CORRECT ANSWER about 2 to 2.5 cm
The examiner wishes to listen in the pulmonic valve area. To do this, the stethoscope
would be placed at the:
a. fourth right intercostal space
b. second left intercostal space
c. left lower sternal border
d. fifth intercostal space, left midclavicular line - CORRECT ANSWER second left
intercostal space
, When auscultating the heart, your first step is to:
a. identify S1 and S2
b. listen for S3 and S4
c. listen for murmurs
d. identify all four sounds on the first round - CORRECT ANSWER identify S1 and S2
When you have your patient squat, the venous return to the right side of the heart
increases and the peripheral vascular resistance increases.
The blood pressure, stroke volume, and the volume of blood in the left ventricle all rise.
This may help you to find a heart murmur or extra sound.
a. True
b. False - CORRECT ANSWER True
You are auscultating at the 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line. You are most
likely to hear which valve?
a. Aortic
b. Pulmonic
c. Tricuspid
d. Mitral - CORRECT ANSWER Mitral
Concerning symptoms of the peripheral vascular system would include: (CHECK ALL
THAT ARE CORRECT)
a. Edema of the calves, leg, or feet
b. Pain
c. Numbness of the legs
d. Hair loss on the lower extremities - CORRECT ANSWER -Edema of the calves, leg,
or feet
-Pain
-Numbness of the legs
-Hair loss on the lower extremities
Match the following grading of pulses:
3+ - CORRECT ANSWER bounding
Match the following grading of pulses:
2+ - CORRECT ANSWER brisk, expected (normal)
Match the following grading of pulses:
1+ - CORRECT ANSWER diminished, weaker than expected
Match the following grading of pulses:
0 - CORRECT ANSWER absent, unable to palpate
