NU 220 Cardiovascular + Peripheral
vascular Assessment Exam questions with
correct answers
What |is |the |direction |of |blood |flow |in |the |heart? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Blood |enters |the |right |
atrium |from |the |superior/inferior |venacava. |It |travels |through |the |tripcupsid |valve |to |enter |the |right |
ventricle.
From |the |right |ventricle, |blood |enters |through |the |pulmonary |valve |into |the |pulmonary |artery |to |
oxygenate |in |the |lungs.
From |the |lungs, |blood |enters |the |left |atrium |from |the |pulmonary |veins. |Blood |travels |to |the |left |
ventricle |through |the |mitral |valve |and |is |the |pumped |to |the |body |by |the |aortic |valve.
What |are |the |atrioventricular |valves? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Tricupsid |valve |+ |Mitral |valves |(AV |
valves)
What |are |the |semilunar |valves? |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Pulmonary |+ |Aortic |Valve
the |first |heart |sound, |heard |when |the |atrioventricular |(mitral |and |tricuspid) |valves |close, |while |the |
atriums |are |being |filled
"Lub" |sound. |
Heard |best |at |the |apex |of |the |heart. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-S1
the |second |heart |sound, |heard |when |the |semilunar |(aortic |and |pulmonic) |valves |close. |Shut |after |
blood |is |pished |out |of |ventricles |to |prevent |backflow. |
"Dub" |sound
, Heard |best |at |the |base |of |the |heart. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-S2
contraction |phase |of |the |heartbeat
happens |between |S1 |and |S2
shorter |time |period |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-systole
relaxation |phase |of |the |heartbeat
happens |after |S2 |and |before |the |next |S1
longer |time |period |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-diastole
S3 |and |S4 |or |murmurs |heard |in |the |heart. |
S3 |indicates |extra |sound |heard |early |in |diastole, |after |S2
S4 |indicates |extra |sound |heard |late |in |diastole, |before |S1
S1 |and |S2 |can |also |be |split, |meaning |the |valves |aren't |closing |at |the |same |time, |causing |extra |heart |
sounds. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Extra |heart |sounds
Third |heart |sounds, |heard |early |in |diastole, |*after |S2.* |
Type |of |extra |heart |sound |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-S3
Fourth |heart |sound, |heard |late |in |diastole, |*right |before |S1.* |
