NUR 3065 Module 6-8 Quizzes and
Already Passed Answers.
Ventricle - Answer Muscular pumping chamber
Myocardium - Answer Muscular wall of the heart
Atrium - Answer Reservoir for holding blood
Pericardium - Answer Tough, fibrous, double-walled sac that surrounds and protects the
heart
S1 - Answer Closure of atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid)
S2 - Answer closure of semilunar laves (aortic and pulmonic)
Physiologic splitting - Answer Aortic valve closing just before the pulmonic valve
Paradoxical splitting - Answer Closure of the aortic valve is abnormally delayed so the
pulmonic valve closure is heard first.
The examiner is palpating the apical impulse. The normal size of this impulse is
a. less than 1cm
b. about 2 to 2.5 cm
c. 3 cm
d. varies depending on the size of the person - Answer about 2 to 2.5 cm
The examiner wishes to listen in the pulmonic valve area. To do this, the stethoscope would be
placed at the:
a. fourth right intercostal space
b. second left intercostal space
c. left lower sternal border
d. fifth intercostal space, left midclavicular line - Answer second left intercostal space
, When auscultating the heart, your first step is to:
a. identify S1 and S2
b. listen for S3 and S4
c. listen for murmurs
d. identify all four sounds on the first round - Answer identify S1 and S2
When you have your patient squat, the venous return to the right side of the heart increases
and the peripheral vascular resistance increases.
The blood pressure, stroke volume, and the volume of blood in the left ventricle all rise.
This may help you to find a heart murmur or extra sound.
a. True
b. False - Answer True
You are auscultating at the 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line. You are most likely to
hear which valve?
a. Aortic
b. Pulmonic
c. Tricuspid
d. Mitral - Answer Mitral
Concerning symptoms of the peripheral vascular system would include: (CHECK ALL THAT ARE
CORRECT)
a. Edema of the calves, leg, or feet
b. Pain
c. Numbness of the legs
d. Hair loss on the lower extremities - Answer -Edema of the calves, leg, or feet
-Pain
-Numbness of the legs
-Hair loss on the lower extremities
