Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood back into the circulatory system?

    • A.

      Right atrium

    • B.

      Right ventricle

    • C.

      Tricuspid valve

    • D.

      Left ventricle

    Correct Answer
    D. Left ventricle
    Explanation
    The left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation. The right atrium pumps blood to the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve is not a heart chamber. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.

    Another name for ventricular contraction is:

    • A.

      Systole

    • B.

      Diastole

    • C.

      Repolarization

    • D.

      Sternum

    Correct Answer
    A. Systole
    Explanation
    Systole is ventricular contraction.Diastole is ventricular filling. Repolarization occurs when cells return to their negative resting state.The sternum is the breast bone.

  • 3. 

    The name for the volume of blood in the ventricle immediately before it is ejected is:

    • A.

      Preload

    • B.

      Afterload

    • C.

      Contractility

    • D.

      Automaticity

    Correct Answer
    A. Preload
    Explanation
    The correct answer is preload.Afterload is the resistance that the LV must pump against. Contractility is the squeezing ability of the LV.Automaticity is what allows the SA node to initiate an impulse.

  • 4. 

    When determining heart rate in a normal heart, you should always remember that the atrial rate is:

    • A.

      Always slower than the ventricular rate.

    • B.

      The most accurate rate to measure.

    • C.

      Always faster than the ventricular rate.

    • D.

      Always equal to the ventricular rate.

    Correct Answer
    D. Always equal to the ventricular rate.
    Explanation
    In the normal heart,the atrial and ventricular rate are always equal.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Using the 6 second method or the rule of 10's, which of the following is the atrial rate if the number of P waves on a 6-second strip is 5?

    • A.

      30

    • B.

      50

    • C.

      55

    • D.

      150

    Correct Answer
    B. 50
    Explanation
    10x5=50

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

     Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that would require defibrillation.

    • A.

      Asystole

    • B.

      Atrial fibrillation

    • C.

      Supraventricular tachycardia

    • D.

      Ventricular fibrillation

    • E.

      Pulseless ventricular tachycardia

    Correct Answer(s)
    D. Ventricular fibrillation
    E. Pulseless ventricular tachycardia
    Explanation
    Asystole requires CPR, SVT requires cardioversion and/or meds. A fib requires meds and/or cardioversion.Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia require defibrillation.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that might require cardioversion.

    • A.

      Third degree heart block

    • B.

      Rapid unstable atrial fibrillation

    • C.

      Ventricular tachycardia with a pulse

    • D.

      Asystole

    • E.

      Pulseless electrical activity

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Rapid unstable atrial fibrillation
    C. Ventricular tachycardia with a pulse
    Explanation
    Rapid atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia with a pulse would be rhythms acceptable for cardioversion. Third degree heart block requires a pacemaker. Asystole requires CPR.PEA requires CPR.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that would require a transcutaneous pacemaker.

    • A.

      First degree heart block

    • B.

      Asystole

    • C.

      Third degree heart block

    • D.

      Bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion

    • E.

      Atrial fibrillation

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Third degree heart block
    D. Bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion
    Explanation
    First degree heart block does not require treatment. Asystole requires CPR. Third degree heart block requires a pacemaker. Bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion requires a pacemaker. Atrial fibrillation requires meds or cardioversion.

      The first intervention for sinus tachycardia is an appropriate drug.

    • C.

      Sinus tachycardia can be initiated by physical or emotional causes.

    • D.

      Sinus tachycardia can be a sign of more serious health problems, such as hemorrhage or heart failure.

    C. Sinus tachycardia can be initiated by pHysical or emotional causes.
    D. Sinus tachycardia can be a sign of more serious health problems, such as hemorrhage or heart failure.

    Please answer true or false to the questions below.

    • A.

      Ventricular fibrillation may be preceded by complete heart block

    • B.

      Ventricular fibrillation may be preceded by ventricular tachycardia

    Correct Answer
    B. Ventricular fibrillation may be preceded by ventricular tachycardia
    Explanation
    An untreated ventricular tachycardia may lead to ventricular fibrillation.Complete heart block may lead to asystole but,not ventricular fibrillation.
