MULTIPLE CHOICE n


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


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



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



b. Involves the entire body. n n n



c. Is decreased with hypertension.
n n n



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




ANSWER: B n


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


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


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




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


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



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



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



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



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



day.
n




ANSWER: C n


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


Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may be a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease could have
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n


happened.

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


would be, The sinoatrial node
n n n n n



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



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



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



d. Protects the heart from n n n



infection.
n




ANSWER: A n


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


Normal rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic changes or
n n n n n n n n n n n n


infection,and it does not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.
n n n n n n n n n n n


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


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



a. Mental alertness. n


b. Perfusion.

, c. Pain.
d. Reaction to n



medications.
n



ANSWER: B n


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


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


areimportant but not the primary concern.
n n n n n n


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


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



a. Tissue ischemia. n



b. Brain malformations. n



c. Intestinal blockage. n



d. Cardiac
dysthymia.
n




ANSWER: D n


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


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


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


understands the concept of perfusion when the student states, Perfusion
n n n n n n n n n n



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



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



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



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



body.
n




ANSWER: C n


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


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


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


Perfusion does not always change as the person ages.

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


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

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



b. Bounding pedal pulses n n
