 The sac that surrounds and protects the heart is called the:
a.
Pericardium.
b.
Myocardium.
c.
Endocardium.
d.
Pleural space.

ANS: A
The pericardium is a tough, fibrous double-walled sac that surrounds
and protects the heart. It has two layers that contain a few milliliters of
serous pericardial fluid.

 The direction of blood flow through the heart is best described by
which of these?
a.
Vena cava right atrium right ventricle
lungs pulmonary artery left atrium
left ventricle
b.
Right atrium right ventricle
pulmonary artery lungs pulmonary
vein left atrium left ventricle
c.
Aorta right atrium right ventricle lungs
pulmonary vein left atrium left ventricle
vena cava
d.
Right atrium right ventricle
pulmonary vein lungs pulmonary
artery left atrium left ventricle

ANS: B
Returning blood from the body empties into the right atrium and
flows into the right ventricle and then goes to the lungs through the
pulmonary artery. The lungs oxygenate the blood, and it is then
returned to the left atrium through the pulmonary vein. The blood
goes from there to the left ventricle and then out to the body through

 The nurse is reviewing the anatomy and physiologic functioning of the
heart. Which statement best describes what is meant by atrial kick?
a.
The atria contract during systole and attempt to push against closed
valves.
b.
Contraction of the atria at the beginning of diastole can be felt as a
palpitation.
c.
Atrial kick is the pressure exerted against the atria as the
ventricles contract during systole.
d.
The atria contract toward the end of diastole and push the
remaining blood into the ventricles.

ANS: D
Toward the end of diastole, the atria contract and push the last amount
of blood (approximately 25% of stroke volume) into the ventricles.
This active filling phase is called presystole, or atrial systole, or
sometimes the atrial kick.

 When listening to heart sounds, the nurse knows the valve closures
that can be heard best at the base of the heart are:
a.
Mitral and tricuspid.
b.
Tricuspid and aortic.
c.
Aortic and pulmonic.
d.
Mitral and pulmonic.

ANS: C
The second heart sound (S2) occurs with the closure of the
semilunar (aortic and pulmonic) valves and signals the end of
systole. Although it is heard over all the precordium, the S 2 is
loudest at the base of the heart.
