Health Assessment - Cardio

Where is the apical impulse located?

• In the second left intercostal space at the midclavicular line

• In the fifth left intercostal space at the midclavicular line

• In the ninth left intercostal space at the midclavicular line

• In the third left intercostal space at the midclavicular line

Auscultatory sites of the heart include

• Aortic, buccal, tricuspid, and mitral areas

• Pulmonic, buccal, tricuspid, and mitral areas

• Aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral areas

• Plantar, buccal, tricuspid, and mitral areas

Which of the following findings during a cardiac assessment of an adult patient are considered normal?

• S1 and S2 sounds

• S1 and S3 sounds

• S3 and S4 sound

• S1 and S4 sounds

The S1 heart sound:

• Is louder at the apex of the heart

• Results from closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves

• Marks the start of systole

• All of the above

The angle of louis is adjacent to what rib?

• 5th rib

• 4th rib

• 2nd rib

• 3rd rib

The anterior chest area that overlies the heart and great vessels is called the

• Precordium

• Myocardium

• Endocardium

• Cardium

The bicuspid, or mitral valve is located

• Between the left atrium and the left ventricle

• Between the right ventricle and left atrium

• Between the left atrium and right atrium

• Between the right ventricle and right atrium

The semilunar valves are located?

• At the pulmonary veins

• At the exit of each atrium at the beginning of the ventricles

• At the exit of each ventricle at the beginning of the great vessels

• At the exit of each great vessel at the beginning of the atrium

The sinoatrial node of the heart is located on the

• Posterior wall of the right atrium

• Anterior wall of the right atrium

• Posterior wall of the left atrium

• Anterior wall of the left atrium

The P-wave phase of an ECG represents

• Conduction of the impulse throughout the atria

• Conduction of the impulse throughout the ventricles

• The ventricles return to a resting state

• Represents the final phase of ventricular repolarization
