1. A nurse is teaching staff about the conduction of the heart. In which order will the nurse
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


present the conduction cycle, starting with the first structure?

ANS: B v




The conduction system originates with the SA node, the “pacemaker” of the heart. The electrical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


impulses are transmitted through the atria along intraatrial pathways to the AV node. It assists
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


atrial emptying by delaying the impulse before transmitting it through the Bundle of His and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


ventricular Purkinje network.

2. A nurse is teaching the patient with mitral valve problems about the valves in the heart.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Starting on the right side of the heart, describe the sequence of the blood flow through these
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


valves.
v




1. Mitral

2. Aortic

3. Tricuspid

d. 2, 4, 1, 3 v v v




ANS: C v




The blood flows through the valves in the following direction: tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral, and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


aortic.

3. A nurse explains the function of the alveoli to a patient with respiratory problems. Which
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


information about the alveoli’s function will the nurse share with the patient?
v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Carries out gas exchangev v v




b. Regulates tidal volume v v

NURSINGTB.COM
c. Produces hemoglobin v




d. Stores oxygen v




ANS: A v




The alveolus is a capillary membrane that allows gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


during respiration. The alveoli do not store oxygen, regulate tidal volume, or produce
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


hemoglobin.

4. A nurse auscultates heart sounds. When the nurse hears S2, which valves is the nurse hearing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


close?
v




a. Aortic and mitral v v




b. Mitral and tricuspidv v




c. Aortic and pulmonic v v




d. Mitral and pulmonic v v

ANS: C v




As the ventricles empty, the ventricular pressures decrease, allowing closure of the aortic and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


pulmonic valves, producing the second heart sound, S2. The mitral and tricuspid produce the first
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


heart sound, S1. The aortic and mitral do not close at the same time. The mitral and pulmonic do
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


not close at the same time.

5. The nurse is teaching about the process of exchanging gases through the alveolar capillary
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


membrane. Which term will the nurse use to describe this process?
v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Ventilation
b. Surfactant
c. Perfusion
d. Diffusion

ANS: D v




Diffusion is the process of gases exchanging across the alveoli and capillaries of body
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


tissues.Ventilation is the process of m o v Ni nUgRgSaI Ns eGs Ti Bn .t Co OaMn d out of the lungs. Surfactant is a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


chemical produced in the lungs to maintain the surface tension of the alveoli and keep them from
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


collapsing. Perfusion is the ability of the cardiovascular system to carry oxygenated blood to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

6. A nurse is caring for a patient who was in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in cervical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


trauma to C4. Which assessment is the priority?
v v v v v v v v




a. Pulse
b. Respirations
c. Temperature
d. Blood pressure v




ANS: B v




Respirations and oxygen saturation are the priorities. Cervical trauma at C3 to C5 usually results
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


in paralysis of the phrenic nerve. When the phrenic nerve is damaged, the diaphragm does not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


descend properly, thus reducing inspiratory lung volumes and causing hypoxemia. While pulse
