Landmark to auscultate the pulmonic valve 2nd ICS, left sternal border
Three ways blood flow is regulated through the venous system Skeletal muscles
The valves that are inside the veins
Respiration
T/F: When thinking about the conduction system of the heart, the SA node generates the initial
electrical impulse and the Purkinje fibers initiates cardiac contraction True
What drains into the left lymphatic duct? Iliac nodes
Thoracic duct
The mesenteric nodes
The cubital nodes
Landmark to auscultate the tricuspid valve 4th ICS, inner border
Landmark to auscultate the aortic valve Right side, 2nd ICS
Landmark to auscultate the mitral valve 5th ICS, midclavicular line
What drains into the right lymphatic duct? Axillary nodes
Mammary vessels
Lumbar nodes
, T/F: During increase activity an elderly person is likely to experience elevated heart rate,
bounding pulse, and shortness of breath False
The heart has a decreased response to the sympathetic system so none of these things will
occur. What you can see is an increase in systolic blood pressure but that's related to stiffening
of the arterial walls not related to the activity level, so the elderly person is unable to build that
type of response.
Risk factors most commonly associated with peripheral arterial disease Diabetes
Smoking
Age
What are some signs of peripheral arterial disease? Pain during exertion that is relieved by
rest, so when they sit down to put their legs up, their pain goes away
What is a condition that we connect to peripheral arterial disease? Intermittent claudication
Two signs of heart disease Decrease cardiac function
Fluid overload
How would fluid overload and decreased cardiac function present? Edema, nocturia, chest
pain, sob, fatigue with activity
If a patient has unilateral acute pain in their leg, swelling, and erythema, what might they be
experiencing? DVT
If you suspect that your patient has a DVT, what would you do next as a part of your
assessment? Measure the legs for difference in swelling
