MULTIPLE CHOICE v



1. The nurse is explaining to a student nurse about impaired central perfusion. The nurse knows the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



student understands this problem when the student states, Central perfusion
v v v v v v v v v v




a. Is monitored only by the physician. v v v v v




b. Involves the entire body. v v v




c. Is decreased with hypertension.
v v v




d. Is toxic to the cardiac system.
v v v v v




ANSWER: B v



Central perfusion does involve the entire body as all organs are supplied with oxygen and vital
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



Nutrients. The physician does not control the bodys ability for perfusion. Central perfusion is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



notdecreased with hypertension. Central perfusion is not toxic to the cardiac system.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




2. A patient was diagnosed with hypertension. The patient asks the nurse how this disease could
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



have happened to them. The nurses best response is Hypertension
v v v v v v v v v v




a. Happens to everyone sooner or later. Dont be concerned about it. v v v v v v v v v v




b. Can happen from eating a poor diet, so change what you are eating.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




c. Can happen from arterial changes that impede the blood flow.
v v v v v v v v v




d. Happens when people do not exercise, so you should walk every v v v v v v v v v v




day.
v




ANSWER: C v



Hardening of the arteries from atherosclerosis can cause hypertension in the patient. Hypertension
v v v v v v v v v v v v



does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may be a positive life
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease could have happened.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




3. The patient asks the nurse to explain the sinoatrial node in the heart. The nurses best response
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



would be, The sinoatrial node
v v v v v




a. Provides the heart with the stimulation to beat in a normal rhythm. v v v v v v v v v v v




b. Protects the heart from atherosclerotic changes. v v v v v




c. Provides the heart with oxygenated blood. v v v v v




d. Protects the heart from v v v




infection.
v




ANSWER: A v



The sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to beat in a Normal
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic changes or infection,and it does
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.
v v v v v v v v



4. The patient is brought to the emergency department after a motor vehicle accident. The patient is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



diagnosed with internal bleeding. The nurses primary concern is to monitor for
v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Mental alertness. v



b. Perfusion.

, c. Pain.
d. Reaction to v




medications.
v




ANSWER: B v



Perfusion is the correct answer, because with internal bleeding, the nurse should monitor vital
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



Signs to be sure perfusion is happening. Mental alertness, pain, and medication reactions
v v v v v v v v v v v v



areimportant but not the primary concern.
v v v v v v



5. A patients serum electrolytes are being monitored. The nurse notices that the potassium level is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



low. The nurse knows that the patient should be observed for
v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Tissue ischemia. v




b. Brain malformations. v




c. Intestinal blockage. v




d. Cardiac
dysthymia.
v




ANSWER: D v



Cardiac dysthymia is a possibility when serum potassium is high or low. Tissue ischemia, brain
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



Malformations, or intestinal blockage do not have a direct correlation to potassium irregularities.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



6. A nurse is explaining to a student nurse about perfusion. The nurse knows the student understands
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



the concept of perfusion when the student states, Perfusion
v v v v v v v v v




a. Is a normal function of the body, and I dont have to be concerned about it.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




b. Is monitored by the physician, and I just follow orders.
v v v v v v v v v




c. Is monitored by vital signs and capillary refill.
v v v v v v v




d. Varies as a person ages, so I would expect changes in the
v v v v v v v v v v v




body.
v




ANSWER: C v



The best method to monitor perfusion is to monitor vital signs and capillary refill. This allows
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



The nurse to know if perfusion is adequate to maintain vital organs. The nurse does have to be
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



concerned about perfusion. Perfusion is not only monitored by the physician but the nurse too.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



Perfusion does not always change as the person ages.
v v v v v v v v v



7. The nurse is conducting a patient assessment. The patient tells the nurse that he has smoked
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



two packs of cigarettes per day for 27 years. The nurse may find which data upon assessment?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Blood pressure above the normal range v v v v v




b. Bounding pedal pulses v v




c. Night blindness v
