b. DM

,c. Heredity
d. HTN Correct Answers C. Because "heredity" refers to our

genetic makeup, it can't be changed. Cigarette smoking

modification. Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor that can be
controlled with diet, exercise, and medication. Altering one's
diet, exercise, and medication can correct hypertension.

c. Edema

MI. Palpitations may result from reduced cardiac output,
producing arrhythmias.

obtaining an apical pulse?
a. Left intercostal space, midaxillary line
b. Left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line
c. Left 2nd intercostal space, midclavicular line
d. Left 7th intercostal space, midclavicular line Correct Answers
......




B. The correct landmark for obtaining an apical pulse is the left
......




intercostal space in the midclavicular line. This is the point of
maximum impulse (PMI) and the location of the left ventricular
apex. The left 2nd intercostal space in the midclavicular line is

, where the pulmonic sounds are auscultated. Normally, heart
sounds are not heard in the midaxillary line or the 7th intercostal
space in the midclavicular line.

A murmur is heard at the 2nd left intercostal space along the left
sternal border. Which valve area is this?

left sternal border. Aortic valve abnormalities are heard at the
2nd intercostal space, to the right of the sternum. Mitral valve

midclavicular line. Tricuspid valve abnormalities are heard at
the 3rd and 4th intercostal spaces along the sternal border.

client exhibiting signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease?

...... .... ..




Enhancing mocardial oxygenation is always the first priority
when a client exhibits signs and symptoms of cardiac
compromise. Without adequate oxygen, the myocardium suffers

are important in care delivery, nether are priorities when a client
is compromised. Sublingual nitroglycerin is administered to treat
acute angina, but its administration isn't the first priority.
