the student understands this problem when the student states, Central perfusion

b. Involves the entire body. bn bn bn




c. Is decreased with hypertension.

d. Is toxic to the cardiac system.
bn bn bn bn bn




ANSWER: B bn



Central perfusion does involve the entire body as all organs are supplied with oxygen and vital
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



Nutrients. The physician does not control the bodys ability for perfusion. Central perfusion is
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



notdecreased with hypertension. Central perfusion is not toxic to the cardiac system.

2. A patient was diagnosed with hypertension. The patient asks the nurse how this disease could

have happened to them. The nurses best response is Hypertension

bn day.
ANSWER: C bn



Hardening of the arteries from atherosclerosis can cause hypertension in the patient.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may be a
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease could have
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



happened.

3. The patient asks the nurse to explain the sinoatrial node in the heart. The nurses best
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



response would be, The sinoatrial node
bn bn bn bn bn bn




a. Provides the heart with the stimulation to beat in a normal rhythm. bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




b. Protects the heart from atherosclerotic changes. bn bn bn bn bn




c. Provides the heart with oxygenated blood. bn bn bn bn bn




d. Protects the heart from bn bn bn




bn infection.

ANSWER: A bn



The sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to beat in a
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



Normal rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic changes or
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



infection,and it does not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.

4. The patient is brought to the emergency department after a motor vehicle accident. The

patient is diagnosed with internal bleeding. The nurses primary concern is to monitor for

a. Mental alertness. bn



b. Perfusion.

d. Reaction to bn




medications.
bn




ANSWER: B bn



Perfusion is the correct answer, because with internal bleeding, the nurse should monitor vital
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



Signs to be sure perfusion is happening. Mental alertness, pain, and medication reactions
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



areimportant but not the primary concern.

5. A patients serum electrolytes are being monitored. The nurse notices that the potassium
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



level is low. The nurse knows that the patient should be observed for
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




a. Tissue ischemia. bn




b. Brain malformations. bn




c. Intestinal blockage. bn




d. Cardiac
dysthymia.
bn




ANSWER: D bn



Cardiac dysthymia is a possibility when serum potassium is high or low. Tissue ischemia, brain
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



Malformations, or intestinal blockage do not have a direct correlation to potassium irregularities.

6. A nurse is explaining to a student nurse about perfusion. The nurse knows the student
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



understands the concept of perfusion when the student states, Perfusion
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




a. Is a normal function of the body, and I dont have to be concerned about it.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




b. Is monitored by the physician, and I just follow orders.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




c. Is monitored by vital signs and capillary refill.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




d. Varies as a person ages, so I would expect changes in bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn




the body.
bn bn




ANSWER: C bn



The best method to monitor perfusion is to monitor vital signs and capillary refill. This
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



allows The nurse to know if perfusion is adequate to maintain vital organs. The nurse does
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



have to be concerned about perfusion. Perfusion is not only monitored by the physician but
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn



the nurse too. Perfusion does not always change as the person ages.
