1. sA snurse sis sexplaining scardiac soutput sto sa snursing sstudent. sWhich sformula
scorrectly srepresents scardiac soutput?
A. sBlood sPressure s× sPeripheral sResistance
B. sHeart sRate s× sStroke sVolume
C. sEnd sDiastolic sVolume s– sEnd sSystolic sVolume
D. sStroke sVolume s× sPeripheral sResistance
Answer: sB s– sHeart sRate s× sStroke sVolume
Rationale: sCardiac soutput s(CO) sis sthe svolume sof sblood spumped sby sthe sheart sper
sminute. sIt sis scalculated sby smultiplying sthe sheart srate s(beats sper sminute) sby sthe
sstroke svolume s(blood sejected sper sbeat) s.
2. sA spatient shas sa sheart srate sof s90 sbpm sand sa sstroke svolume sof s80 smL. sWhat
sis sthe scardiac soutput?
A. s170 smL/min
B. s720 smL/min
C. s7,200 smL/min s(7.2 sL/min)
D. s720 sL/min
Answer: sC s– s7,200 smL/min s(7.2 sL/min)
Rationale: sCardiac sOutput s= sHeart sRate s× sStroke sVolume. s90 sbpm s× s80 smL s=
s7,200 smL/min sor s7.2 sL/min. sNormal sresting sCO sis s4-8 sL/min s.
, 3. sA spatient swith sheart sfailure shas sa sreduced sforce sof sventricular
scontraction. sThe snurse sidentifies s this sas sa sdeficit sin swhich sfactor?
A. sAfterload
B. sPreload
C. sContractility
D. sHeart srate
Answer: sC s– sContractility
Rationale: sContractility sis sthe sforce swith swhich sthe sventricles scontract. sDecreased
scontractility sreduces sstroke svolume sand scardiac soutput, swhich sis sa shallmark sof
ssystolic sheart sfailure s.
4. sAccording sto sthe sStarling slaw sof sthe sheart, sincreased svenous sreturn
s(increased spreload) swill sresult sin:
A. sDecreased sforce sof scontraction
B. sIncreased sforce sof scontraction
C. sNo schange sin scontraction sforce
D. sDecreased sheart srate
Answer: sB s– sIncreased sforce sof scontraction
Rationale: sThe sStarling slaw sstates sthat sthe sforce sof sventricular scontraction sis
sproportional sto smuscle sfiber slength. sIncreased spreload sstretches sthe sfibers,
sleading sto sa sstronger scontraction s.
5. sThe sforce sthat sthe sventricle smust sovercome sto seject sblood sis sknown sas:
A. sPreload
B. sAfterload
C. sContractility
D. sCardiac soutput
Answer: sB s– sAfterload
