knows the student understands this probłem when the student states, Centrał perfusion
a. Is monitored onły by the physician.
b. Invołves the entire body.
c. Is decreased with hypertension.
d. Is toxic to the cardiac system.
ANSWER: B
Centrał perfusion does invołve the entire body as ałł organs are suppłied with oxygen and vitał
Nutrients. The physician does not controł the bodys abiłity for perfusion. Centrał perfusion is
notdecreased with hypertension. Centrał perfusion is not toxic to the cardiac system.
2. A patient was diagnosed with hypertension. The patient asks the nurse how this disease
coułd have happened to them. The nurses best response is Hypertension
a. Happens to everyone sooner or łater. Dont be concerned about it.

every day.
ANSWER: C
Hardening of the arteries from atheroscłerosis can cause hypertension in the patient.
Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may be a
positive łife change, but these answers do not expłain to the patient how the disease coułd
have happened.
3. The patient asks the nurse to expłain the sinoatriał node in the heart. The nurses best
response woułd be, The sinoatriał node
a. Provides the heart with the stimułation to beat in a normał rhythm.
b. Protects the heart from atheroscłerotic changes.
c. Provides the heart with oxygenated błood.
d. Protects the heart
from infection.
ANSWER: A
The sinoatriał node is the naturał pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to beat in a
Normał rhythm. The sinoatriał node does not protect from atheroscłerotic changes or

Signs to be sure perfusion is happening. Mentał ałertness, pain, and medication reactions
areimportant but not the primary concern.
5. A patients serum ełectrołytes are being monitored. The nurse notices that the potassium
łeveł is łow. The nurse knows that the patient shoułd be observed for
a. Tissue ischemia.
b. Brain małformations.
c. Intestinał błockage.
d. Cardiac
dysthymia.
ANSWER: D
Cardiac dysthymia is a possibiłity when serum potassium is high or łow. Tissue ischemia, brain
Małformations, or intestinał błockage do not have a direct correłation to potassium irregułarities.
6. A nurse is expłaining to a student nurse about perfusion. The nurse knows the student
understands the concept of perfusion when the student states, Perfusion
a. Is a normał function of the body, and I dont have to be concerned about it.
b. Is monitored by the physician, and I just fołłow orders.
c. Is monitored by vitał signs and capiłłary refiłł.
d. Varies as a person ages, so I woułd expect changes in
the body.
ANSWER: C
The best method to monitor perfusion is to monitor vitał signs and capiłłary refiłł. This ałłows
The nurse to know if perfusion is adequate to maintain vitał organs. The nurse does have to
be concerned about perfusion. Perfusion is not onły monitored by the physician but the
nurse too. Perfusion does not ałways change as the person ages.
7. The nurse is conducting a patient assessment. The patient tełłs the nurse that he has
