MULTIPLE CHOICE nn


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


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




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



b. Involves the entire body. nn nn nn



c. Is decreased with hypertension.
nn nn nn



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




ANSWER: B nn


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


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


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

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


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




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

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

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

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


every day.
nn nn




ANSWER: C nn


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


Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn


be a positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease

could have happened.

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


response would be, The sinoatrial node
nn nn nn nn nn nn




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

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



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



d. Protects the heart from nn nn nn


nn infection.

ANSWER: A nn


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


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

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

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


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

a. Mental alertness. nn


b. Perfusion.

, c. Pain.
d. Reaction to nn


medications.
nn



ANSWER: B nn


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


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


areimportant but not the primary concern.

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

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

a. Tissue ischemia. nn



b. Brain malformations. nn



c. Intestinal blockage. nn



d.

c dysthymia.
nn




ANSWER: D nn


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

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

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

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


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



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



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



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


the body.
nn nn




ANSWER: C nn


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


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


be concerned about perfusion. Perfusion is not only monitored by the physician but the nurse
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn


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

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

upon assessment?
