NURS209 Midterm EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) GRADED A+
(BRAND NEW!!)
Terms in this set (170) QUESTIONS VERIFIED ANSWERS
1) Carotid Artery Pulse - Found between sternomastoid
and trachea
- Closely coincides with
ventricular systole
- Smooth rapid upstroke, a summit
that is rounded and smooth, and
gradual downstroke that has a
dicrotic notch caused by closure of
aortic valve
- PA: palpate for rate, thythm,
amplitude and ausculate for bruit
2) HNV: Infants and Children - Fetal heart beats @ end of 3 week
gestation
- Heart position is more horizontal.
- Apex higher (4th left intercostal
, space)
- by age 6, lymphoid tissue reaches
adult size
- lymph nodes relatively large
- respiratory infection and enlarged
tonsils
3) HNV: Pregnant Woman - Blood volume increased 30-40%
expansion most rapid @ 2nd
semester
- Expansion causes an increase in
SV and CO and an increase in
pulse rate by 10-15 bpm
- growing unterus obstructs
drainage of iliac vein and inferior
vena cava; dependant edema
4) HNV: Older Adults - Difficult to isolate.. interrelated
factors of lifestyle, habit, and
disease
- arteriosclerosis
- atherosclerosis
- increased risk of DVT
5) HNV: Social Determinants of Health -Increse incidence of CVD in
Canada for men and wome
, - Socioeconomic factors
- High BP
- Smoking
- Serum Cholesterol
- Obesity
- Diabetes
6) HNV: Subjective Data - Chest Pain
- Dyspnea
- Orthopnea: # of pillows sleeping
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Cyanosis/pallor
- Edema
- Nocturia
- Cardiac History/Familly History
- Personal Habits
7) HNV: Normal Findings - Apical impulse: should occupy
one interspace (4th/5th)
- Carotid artery: contour smooth,
rapid upstroke, slower downstroke,
moderate strength, same bilat.
- No pulsations on the chest felt
- Second right space(aortic),
, second left space (pulmonic) fifth
space (tricuspid), fifth space
midclavicular (mitral)
- 60-100 bpm, regular rhythm
- S1 louder than S2 @ apex; vice
versa @ base normal JVP=2cm or
less
- No Bruit
- presence of apical pulse
8) Jugular Venous Pulse and Pressure - Jugular veins empty
unoxygenated blood directly into
SVC, give info about activity on
the right side of the heart.
- A wave: atrial contraction
- C wave: ventricular contraction
- X: atrial relaxation
- V: passive atrial filling
- Y: passive ventricular filling
- PA: Inspect jugular venous pulse,
estimate the jugular venous
pressure.
9) Position and Surface Landmarks - Heart is located between the 2nd
