Cardio

Question 0

Right ventricle

Answer 0

Muscular pump located behind the septum. Closes tricuspid valve, opens pulmonic valve, and propels blood into pulmonic artery and lungs.

Question 1

Right Atrium

Answer 1

Receives deoxygenated venous blood

Question 2

What are the four cardiac valves

Answer 2

Tricuspid, mitral (bicuspid), pulmonic, and aortic.

Question 3

Tricuspid valve

Answer 3

Separates the RA from the RV

Question 4

Mitral valve

Answer 4

Separates the LA from the LV

Question 5

Pulmonic valve

Answer 5

Separates the RV from the pulmonary artery

Question 6

Aortic valve

Answer 6

Separates LV from the aorta

Question 7

Cardiac out put equals

Answer 7

Heart rate times stroke volume

Question 8

Cardiac index

Answer 8

Determined by dividing the CO by the body surface area. Normal range is 2.7-3.2 L/min/m2

Question 9

Stroke volume is

Answer 9

The amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle during each contraction

Question 10

Preload is

Answer 10

The degree of myocardial fiber stretch at the end of diastole and just before contraction

Question 11

Afterload is

Answer 11

The pressure or resistance that the ventricles must overcome to eject blood through the semilunar valves and into the peripheral blood vessels

Question 12

Impedance is

Answer 12

The pressure that the heart must overcome to open the aortic valve

Question 13

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea

Answer 13

Develops after pt has been laying down for several hours. In this position, blood from the lower extremities is redistributed to the venous system, which increases venous return to the heart. A dead heat cannot compensate for the increased volume and its ineffective in pumping the additional fluid into the circulatory system. Pulmonary congestion results.

Angina onset

Answer 14

Sudden, usually in response to exertion, emotion, or extend in temperature.

Question 15

MI onset

Answer 20

Squeezing, viselike pain

Question 21

MI severity

Answer 21

Intense stabbing, viselike pain or pressure, severe

Question 22

Pericarditis severity

Answer 22

Sharp, stabbing, moderate to severe

Question 23

Pleuropulmonary severity

Answer 23

Moderate, ache, worse on inspiration

Question 24

Esophageal-gastric severity

Answer 24
