Answers (100% pass)
The degree of stretch at the end of diastole (how much blood is in the ventricles) is
known as - ✔️✔️Preload
An increase in fluids will __________ preload, and a decrease in fluids will
___________ preload - ✔️✔️An increase in fluids will increase preload, and a decrease
in fluids will decrease preload
The resistance to eject blood from the ventricles is known as - ✔️✔️Afterload
Hypertension and vasoconstriction have what effect on Afterload? - ✔️✔️HTN and
vasoconstriction will INCREASE afterload (increased afterload raises cardiac workload
as well)
How effectively the heart can squeeze out blood is also known as - ✔️✔️Contractility
How are preload and contractility related? - ✔️✔️Optimal filling allows for maximum
stretching
What could the nurse give a patient to increase their contractility? - ✔️✔️Epinephrine,
Digoxin, Dopamine

The patient has a normal heart rate, but the PR interval is longer than normal. What

You notice a gradual lengthening in the patient's PR intervals and a missing QRS wave.
What dysrhythmia do you suspect the patient has? - ✔️✔️2nd Degree AV Block Type 1
(Mobitz I // Wenckebach)
The patient has constant elongated PR intervals and P waves at a regular rate, but
missing QRS complexes. What dysrhythmia do you suspect? - ✔️✔️2nd Degree AV
Block Type 2
(Mobitz II)
You notice the patient has consistent P waves and QRS complexes, but the rates
between the two are different (Some P waves do not have a QRS after). What
dysrhythmia do you suspect? - ✔️✔️3rd Degree AV Heart Block
