The nurse is reviewing venous blood flow patterns. Which of these
statements best describes the mechanisms by which venous
blood flow returns to the heart?

-Contracting skeletal muscles milk blood distally toward the veins
-High-pressure system of the heart helps facilitate venous return
-Increased thoracic pressure and decreased abdominal pressure
facilitate venous return to the heart
