,The nurse is reviewing the d. The atria contract toward the end of diastole and push the
anatomy and physiologic remaining blood into the ventricles.
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.
When listening to heart sounds, c. Aortic and pulmonic.

describes the closure of the
valves in a normal cardiac
cycle?
a. The aortic valve closes slightly
before the tricuspid valve.
b. The pulmonic valve closes
slightly before the aortic valve.
c. The tricuspid valve closes
slightly later than the mitral

The findings from an assessment d. Elevated pressure related to heart failure.
of a 70-year-old patient with
swelling in his ankles include
jugular venous pulsations 5 cm
above the sternal angle when
the head of his bed is elevated
45 degrees. The nurse knows
that this finding indicates:
a. Decreased fluid volume.
b... Increased cardiac output.
c. Narrowing of jugular veins.
d. Elevated pressure related to
heart failure.

When assessing a newborn c. Blood can flow into the left side of the heart through an
infant who is 5 minutes old, the opening in the atrial septum.
nurse knows which of these
statements to be true?
a. The left ventricle is larger and
weighs more than the right
ventricle.
b. The circulation of a newborn
is identical to that of an adult.
c. Blood can flow into the left
side of the heart through an
opening in the atrial septum.
d... The foramen ovale closes
just minutes before birth, and
the ductus arteriosus closes
immediately after.
