Progress
◉If the Purkinje system is damaged, conduction of the electrical
impulse is impaired through the
A. atria.
B. AV node.
C. ventricles.
D. bundle of His.. Answer: C. ventricles.
◉Prolonged pressure on the skin causes reddened areas at the point
of contact due to
A. arterial vasodilation from smooth muscle relaxation.
B. compression of veins resulting in venous engorgement.
C. occlusion of major arteries causing infarction of the tissue.
D. tissue damage and inflammation resulting from impaired
capillary blood flow.. Answer: D
◉When a person's blood pressure rises, the homeostatic mechanism
to compensate for an elevation involves stimulation of
, A. chemoreceptors that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system,
causing vasodilation.
B. baroreceptors that inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system,
causing vasodilation.
C. baroreceptors that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system,
causing a decreased heart rate.
D. chemoreceptors that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system,
causing an increased heart rate.. Answer: C. baroreceptors that
inhibit the sympathetic nervous system, causing a decreased heart
rate.
◉When checking the capillary filling time of a patient, the color
returns in 10 seconds. The nurse recognizes this finding as
indicative of
A. a normal response.
B. thrombus formation in the veins.
C. lymphatic obstruction of venous return.
D. impaired arterial flow to the extremities.. Answer: D. impaired
arterial flow to the extremities.
