AHN 568 EXAM 2 CARDIAC ASSESSMENT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
S1 is the closure of the ________&________ valve - ANSWER mitral &
tricuspid (atrioventricular)
S1 marks the beginning of systole or diastole - ANSWER systole
S1 compliments which wave on the EKG - ANSWER R wave - the
depolarization and contraction of the ventricles causes the mitral &
tricuspid valve to close.
S1 is best heard at the base or apex? - ANSWER Apex (Mitral &
Tricuspid area)
5th ICS MCL
S2 is the closure of the ______ & _______ valve - ANSWER aortic &
pulmonic (semilunar)
S2 marks the beginning of systole or diastole - ANSWER Diastole
S2 is heard best at the apex or base of the heart? - ANSWER Base
(Aortic & Pulmonic Area)
2nd ICS Right & Left sternal border.
The sound is S2 is mostly contributed from the closure of the Aortic or
Pulmonic Valve - ANSWER Aortic
S2 is of higher pitch and shorter duration than S1.
True or false - ANSWER True
A splitting S2 is a common finding in older adults.
True or False - ANSWER False
Common finding in children & young adults
, The Atrial kick accounts for ___ % of blood that fills the ventricles -
ANSWER 25%
A splitting S2 is best auscultated in which valve area? - ANSWER
Pulmonic
The splitting of S2 is the early/late closure of the aortic valve and the
early/late closure of the pulmonic valve - ANSWER Early closure of
aortic valve
Late closure of the pulmonic valve
S1 and S2 are best auscultated with bell or diaphragm of the
stethoscope - ANSWER Diaphragm
S3 and S4 are best auscultated with bell or diaphragm of the
stethoscope - ANSWER Bell
The diaphragm is best used to detect high or low pitch sounds -
ANSWER High
Bell of stethoscope detects high or low pitch sounds - ANSWER low
Splitting of S2 is best heard during inspiration or expiration - ANSWER
Inspiration
Aortic Valve ausculatory area - ANSWER 2nd Right ICS right sternal
border
