NSG 321Post-Simulation Quiz.
Scenario 13 Ivan Emoto Post-Simulation Quiz
1. Ivan Emoto has a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 30%. EF provides the best information about
the level of function of the:
A. left coronary artery.
B. right atrium.
C. mitral valve.
D. left ventricle.
2. The emergency department physician has ordered CK-MB level testing for a patient suspected of
having had a myocardial infarction. When reviewing the laboratory results, the nurse correctly
recognizes that CK-MB levels will begin to rise ______ hours after the injury to the myocardial
tissue.
E. 3 to 6
F. 8 to 12
G. 14 to 20
H. 36 to 48
3. Ivan Emoto's assessment reveals the presence of crackles. What is the significance of the
assessed crackles?
I. Crackles indicate that the patient is beginning to develop a pulmonary infection.
J. Crackles are noted in patients with heart disease when they continue to use tobacco
products.
K. Crackles indicate that there is a buildup of fluid in the lungs.
L. Crackles are noted when there is trapped mucus in the airways.
4. A nurse is caring for an older adult patient with anatomical changes to the heart's ventricles. The
nurse notes the presence of a third heart sound, S3. What is the significance of this sound?
M. S3 is often an early sign of heart failure.
N. S3 is seen in patients who have had significant damage to the myocardial muscle.
