ANS: B b*




The conduction system originates with the SA node, the ―pacemaker‖ of the heart. The
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



electrical impulses are transmitted through the atria along intraatrial pathways to the AV node.
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



It assists atrial emptying by delaying the impulse before transmitting it through the Bundle of

His and the ventricular Purkinje network.

ANS: A b*




The alveolus is a capillary membrane that allows gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Questions


ANS: C b*




As the ventricles empty, the ventricular pressures decrease, allowing closure of the aortic and
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



pulmonic valves, producing the second heart sound, S2. The mitral and tricuspid produce the
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



first heart sound, S1. The aortic and mitral do not close at the same time. The mitral and

5. The nurse is teaching about the process of exchanging gases through the alveolar
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



capillary membrane. Which term will the nurse use to describe this process?
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*




a. Ventilation
b. Surfactant
c. Perfusion
d. Diffusion

ANS: D b*




Diffusion is the process of gases exchanging across the alveoli and capillaries of body

tissues.Ventilation is the process of m o v Ni nUgRgSaI Ns eGs Ti Bn .t Co OaMn d out of the lungs. Surfactant is a
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



chemical produced in the lungs to maintain the surface tension of the alveoli and keep them
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



from collapsing. Perfusion is the ability of the cardiovascular system to carry oxygenated

blood to tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

cervical trauma to C4. Which assessment is the priority?
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*




a. Pulse
b. Respirations

ANS: B b*




Respirations and oxygen saturation are the priorities. Cervical trauma at C3 to C5 usually
b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b* b*



results in paralysis of the phrenic nerve. When the phrenic nerve is damaged, the diaphragm

does not descend properly, thus reducing inspiratory lung volumes and causing hypoxemia.
