NSG 117 Perfusion – Cardiovascular Nursing Concepts and Study Guide
perfusion - correct answer ✔✔refers to the flow of blood through arteries and capillaries
delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells.
disorders that lead to changes in perfusion include acute illnesses such as... - correct answer
✔✔- Myocardial infarction or shock
-chromic disorders such as hypertension, heart failure, and stroke
From a conceptual lens what are the two general categories of perfusion? - correct answer
✔✔central perfusion
tissue perfusion
Central perfusion is generated by - correct answer ✔✔cardiac output
cardiac output - correct answer ✔✔moves blood through the heart into the peripheral vascular
vessels.
When does Central Perfusion of blood begin? - correct answer ✔✔when the heart is stimulated
by and electrical impulse that originates in the Sinoatrial(SA) node and travels to the
atrioventricular( AV) node.
Normal cardiac output ranges from ____ to____ L/Minute in the adult - correct answer ✔✔4, 6
What are the two factors that contribute to cardiac output? - correct answer ✔✔Stroke volume
and heart rate
stroke volume - correct answer ✔✔The amount of blood ejected with each contraction
