Which cause of shortness of breath is B. Pneumothorax
primarily due to a pulmonary
etiology?
,Which statement demonstrates the C. Blood flows from the left atrium to the left
correct path of cardiac blood flow? ventricle through the mitral valve.
How can an examiner assess a A. By observing the patient's general signs of
patient's cardiovascular status even discomfort such as respiratory distress or
before using their stethoscope? diaphoresis.
What cardiac physiology does the S1 B. Closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
heart sound represent?
What cardiac physiology does the S2 D. Closure of the aortic valve and pulmonic valves.
heart sound represent?
,What cardiac physiology does the S3 C. Increased ventricular filling pressures, such as in
heart sound represent? heart failure.
What cardiac physiology does the S4 C. Atrial contraction against a stiff ventricle, as seen
heart sound represent? in left ventricular hypertrophy.
What is TRUE regarding physiologic C. The splitting gets more pronounced with
splitting of the second heart sound inspiration, as it takes longer for the pulmonic valve
(S2)? to close.
What are the five qualities of a heart C. Location, intensity, shape, pitch, and timing.
murmur that are important to
describe?
, Which of the following is the MOST A. It is usually heard at the right upper sternal
accurate description of the murmur border but also can be heard across the
of aortic stenosis? precordium during systole.
How does valvular aortic stenosis B. S2 is heard less crisply, as the A2 component is
affect the S2 heart sound? affected by degenerating sclerotic tissue.
What is TRUE regarding the term C. The pulse is weak and late relative to the
'pulsus parvus et tardus' in relation to contraction of the heart.
aortic stenosis?
Which features are the MOST D. Located at the apex of the heart, heard during
accurate descriptions of the murmur systole, the intensity of the murmur predicts the
of mitral regurgitation? extent of valvular disease.
