QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS|
WELL GRADED A+
Pulmonic area - CORRECT ANSWERS-- 2nd left intercostal space at the upper left
sternal border
Aortic area - CORRECT ANSWERS-- 2nd intercostal space at the upper right sternal
border
Left ventricle - CORRECT ANSWERS-- is the pumping chamber of the left side of the
heart
- generating 5 x the pressure vs the right
- oxygenated blood -> through the aortic valve into the aorta -> throughout the body
Left atrium - CORRECT ANSWERS-- collects the pulmonary venous return from the 4
main pulmonary veins
- left atrium -> blood through the mitral valve -> into the left ventricle
Right ventricle - CORRECT ANSWERS-- pumping chamber of the right side of the heart
- pumps deoxygenated blood through -> pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery
- 2 main branches of pulmonary artery deliver pulmonary cardiac output to the lungs for
oxygenation
Right atrium - CORRECT ANSWERS-- receives systemic venous return from the
inferior and superior vena cava
- this blood is deoxygenated from its travels through the body
- RA gets blood -> goes through the tricuspid valve -> directs into the right ventricle
Heart - CORRECT ANSWERS-- right and left atria receive blood
- right and left ventricles pump it out
Peritonitis - CORRECT ANSWERS-signs
- positive cough test: cough produces pain
- guarding: voluntary contraction of abdomen wall
- rigidity: involuntary reflex contraction
- rebound tenderness: pain on withdrawal
- percussion tenderness: percuss gently
Rigidity makes 4 x more likely
Abdomen
Deep palpation
, abnormal - CORRECT ANSWERS-- Physiologic - pregnant uterus
- Inflammatory - diverticulitis
- Vascular - abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Neoplastic - colon cancer
- Obstructive - distended bladder or dilated loop of bowel
XI Spinal Accessory - CORRECT ANSWERS-- shoulder movement
- head rotation
tests
* head/neck rotation against resistance
* shrug shoulder against resistance
IX Glossopharyngeal - CORRECT ANSWERS--sensations from throat, taste
- swallowing
* listen to voice quality, volume, characteristics, articulation of words
X Vagus - CORRECT ANSWERS-- movement of palate, larynx + swallowing, gag reflex
* ask patient to say "ah"
* observe rising of soft palate/uvula
* observe swallow
* check gag reflex
VIII Vestibulocochlear - CORRECT ANSWERS-- hearing, balance
- test one ear at a time
- whisper test - stand behind patient 1-2 feet away, whisper 2 syllable word, increase
volume as necessary
VII Facial - CORRECT ANSWERS-- taste
- facial muscle movement - expressions
- raise eyebrows
- close eyes tight with resistance
- frown, smile
- show upper and lower teeth
- puff out cheeks with resistance
VI Abducens - CORRECT ANSWERS-- extraocular eye movements
- assess directions of gaze
- moves eyes laterally
V Trigeminal - CORRECT ANSWERS-- mastication + lateral jaw movements
- inspect/palpate TMJ - crepitus or popping
- transmission of stimuli from face
- assess 3 facial areas - upper, middle, lower
- check with light touch, sharp and dull
I Olfactory - CORRECT ANSWERS-- smell
