Nipple Inversion: A nurse in a provider's office is preparing to perform a
breast examination for an older adult client who is postmenopausal.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
2. Resonance
Bronchovesicular sounds: A nurse in a provider's office is preparing to
auscul- tate and percuss a client's thorax as part of a comprehensive
physical examination. Which of the following findings should the nurse
expect?
3. FLatus: During an abdominal examination, a nurse in a provider's
office deter- mines that a client has abdominal distention. The
protrusion is at midline, the skin over the area is taut, and the nurse
,notes no involvement of the flanks. Which of the following possible
causes of distention should the nurse expect?
4. Closure of the mitral
valve Closure of the
pulmonic valve
Closure of the tricuspid valve: During a cardiovascular examination, a
nurse in a provider's office places the diaphragm of the stethoscope on
the left midclavicular line of the fifth intercostal space. Which of the
following hear sounds is the nurse attempting to auscultate?
5. Tympany
High-pitched clicks: A nurse in a provider's office is preparing to
auscultate and percuss a client's abdomen as part of a comprehensive
physical examination.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
6. Corresponds to the "dubb" sound: Select the correct description of
,S2, the second heart sound.
7. The sound is heard with mitral regurgitation.: A patient has a
holosystolic murmur. Which statement is correct about this murmur?
8. Palpation: A ventricular heave is detected by which assessment
technique?
9. There is a fluctuation in strength and quality of the pulse.: What effect
on the radial pulse is a usual finding for a client with atrial fibrillation?
10.Just before S1: The nurse hears a pericardial friction rub while
listening to heart sounds. Which characteristic is correct about this
sound?
11.Fifth intercostal space midclavicular line: Where is the point of
maximum impact heard in most normal adult patients?
, 12.Determine which sound is louder with inspiration.: The nurse
auscultates heart sounds of a client with a heart rate of 110 beats/min.
What should the nurse do to identify which sound is S1?
13.QRS: During which segment of the electrical conduction of a
heartbeat does ventricular systole occur?
14.S3: The nurse listens to the heart sound at the apex with the
patient in the left lateral position. Identify the sound.
15.valves: Heart sounds are created by which structure of the heart?
16.AV valves: The S1 (lubb) sound is created by:
17.semilunar valves: The S2 (dubb) sound is created by:
18.Aortic (A2): In a split S2 sound, which valve closes first creating
the split sound?
19.6200: How many contractions per minute does the SA node make?
20.40-60: How many contractions per minute does the AV node make?
