In which order does blood flow through the heart?
1. Blood passes through the tricuspid valve to the right
ventricle.
,2. Blood enters the lungs via the pulmonary arteries, and gas
exchange occurs through the pulmonary capillary system.
3. Blood flows through pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
4. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the superior
vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus.
5. Blood moves through the aortic valve into the aorta.
6. Blood moves through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. -

Which response would the nurse give to a patient with weak
right ventricular systole who asks "What is wrong with my
heart?"
a. "The blood is not moving with enough force to propel an
adequate supply of blood to your arms and legs."
b. "The right side of your heart has a leaky valve and is filling
with blood too rapidly."
c. "The right side of your heart is not pumping with enough
force to propel an adequate amount of blood to the lungs."
d. "The lower part of your heart is not beating with enough
force to propel blood into the upper part of your heart." -
answer c. "The right side of your heart is not pumping with
, enough force to propel an adequate amount of blood to the
lungs."
Which heart wall changes would the nurse expect in a patient
with damage to the epicardium?
Incorrect
a. Decreased contractility
b. Impaired secretion of serous fluid
c. Interrupted blood flow to the myocardium
d. Increased friction during heart contractions
e. Increased contractility - answer b. Impaired secretion of
serous fluid
d. Increased friction during heart contractions
