Question 1
A telemetry patient’s cardiac assessment review notes that
blood is flowing from the left atrium into the left ventricle
during ventricular filling. Which heart valve must be open for
this blood flow to occur?
A. Tricuspid valve B. Pulmonic valve C. Mitral valve D. Aortic
valve
Correct Answer: C
,Rationale: The mitral valve is located between the left atrium
and left ventricle. It opens during ventricular filling to allow
oxygenated blood to move from the left atrium into the left
ventricle. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the
heart. The pulmonic and aortic valves are semilunar valves that
control blood flow out of the ventricles.

Question 2
A nursing student reviewing cardiac blood flow states that
deoxygenated blood leaves the right ventricle and travels to the
lungs through the pulmonary artery. Which valve separates the
right ventricle from the pulmonary artery?
A. Mitral valve B. Aortic valve C. Tricuspid valve D. Pulmonic
valve
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The pulmonic valve is positioned between the right
ventricle and pulmonary artery. It opens during ventricular
contraction to allow blood to move into the pulmonary
circulation. The mitral and tricuspid valves are atrioventricular
valves, while the aortic valve controls blood flow from the left
ventricle into the aorta.

Question 3
A patient’s cardiac anatomy review focuses on the pathway of
oxygenated blood returning from the lungs. Into which
chamber does this blood first enter upon returning to the
heart?
A. Right atrium B. Left atrium C. Right ventricle D. Left ventricle
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs through
the pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium first. From
there, blood passes through the mitral valve into the left
ventricle. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from
systemic circulation.

Question 4
A telemetry learner is tracing the movement of blood through
the heart. Which structure receives deoxygenated blood
returning from systemic circulation?
