MULTIPLE CHOICE Qg
1. The nurse is explaining to a student nurse about impaired central perfusion. The nurse
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
knows the student understands this problem when the student states, Central perfusion
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
a. Is monitored only by the physician. Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
b. Involves the entire body. Qg Qg Qg
c. Is decreased with hypertension.
Qg Qg Qg
d. Is toxic to the cardiac system.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
ANSWER: B Qg
Central perfusion does involve the entire body as all organs are supplied with oxygen and
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
vital Nutrients. The physician does not control the bodys ability for perfusion. Central
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
perfusion is notdecreased with hypertension. Central perfusion is not toxic to the
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
cardiac system.
Qg Qg
2. A patient was diagnosed with hypertension. The patient asks the nurse how this
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
disease could have happened to them. The nurses best response is Hypertension

d. Happens when people do not exercise, so you should walk Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
Qg every day. Qg
ANSWER: C Qg
Hardening of the arteries from atherosclerosis can cause hypertension in the patient.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
may be a positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
disease could have happened.

3. The patient asks the nurse to explain the sinoatrial node in the heart. The nurses best
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
response would be, The sinoatrial node
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
a. Provides the heart with the stimulation to beat in a normal rhythm. Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
b. Protects the heart from atherosclerotic changes.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
c. Provides the heart with oxygenated blood.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
d. Protects the heart Qg Qg
from infection.
Qg Qg
ANSWER: A Qg
The sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
beat in a Normal rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
changes or infection,and it does not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.

, Qg monitor for Qg
a. Mental alertness. Qg
b. Perfusion.
c. Pain.
d. Reaction
to medications.
Qg Qg
ANSWER: B Qg
Perfusion is the correct answer, because with internal bleeding, the nurse should monitor vital
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
Signs to be sure perfusion is happening. Mental alertness, pain, and medication reactions
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg

a. Tissue ischemia. Qg
b. Brain malformations. Qg
c. Intestinal blockage. Qg
d. Cardiac
Qg dysthymia.
ANSWER: D Qg
Cardiac dysthymia is a possibility when serum potassium is high or low. Tissue ischemia, brain
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
Malformations, or intestinal blockage do not have a direct correlation to potassium irregularities.
