NSG 4330 A00 Complex Nursing Care Week 1
Test With Correct Answers
what level does the heartbeat start at? - ANSWER the cellular level
what generates action potentials? - ANSWER individual monocytes
how do action potentials propagate across heart? - ANSWER via conduction
pathways
what are the inherent pacemakers? - ANSWER sinoatrial node
atrioventricular node
purkinje fibers
what does the p wave represent? - ANSWER depolarization of the atria
what does the qrs complex indicate? - ANSWER depolarization of the
ventricles
what does the t wave represent? - ANSWER repolarization of the ventricles
, if the u wave is present what does it represent? - ANSWER repolarization of
the purkinje fibres or may be associated with hypokalemia
what does the pr, qrs, qt intervals reflect? - ANSWER the length of time it
takes for the impulse to travel from one area to the heart to another
what triggers mechanical activity? - ANSWER depolarization
what does the stroke volume usually refer to? - ANSWER left ventricle
what is stroke volume and what is the amount? - ANSWER amount of blood
ejected from left ventricle per beat 60-100 mls per beat
what is preload? - ANSWER how much the right ventricle is stretched
it's dependent on venous return
what is afterload? - ANSWER resistance left ventricle has to overcome to
push blood to systemic circulation
