MULTIPLE CHOICE IIll
1. The nurse is explaining to a student nurse about impaired central perfusion. The nurse
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
knows the student understands this problem when the student states, Central perfusion

a. Is monitored only by the physician. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
b. Involves the entire body. IIll IIll IIll
c. Is decreased with hypertension.

d. Is toxic to the cardiac system.
IIll IIll IIll Il IIll
ANSWER: B IIll
Central perfusion does involve the entire body as all organs are supplied with oxygen and vital
IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll
Nutrients. The physician does not control the bodys ability for perfusion. Central perfusion is
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
notdecreased with hypertension. Central perfusion is not toxic to the cardiac system.

2. A patient was diagnosed with hypertension. The patient asks the nurse how this disease could
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll
have happened to them. The nurses best response is Hypertension

IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patients diet and exercising may be
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIl
a positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease could
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
have happened.

3. The patient asks the nurse to explain the sinoatrial node in the heart. The nurses best
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
response would be, The sinoatrial node

b. Protects the heart from atherosclerotic changes. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
c. Provides the heart with oxygenated blood. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
d. Protectstheheartfrom Il Il Il
IIll infection.
ANSWER: A IIll
The sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to beat in a
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
Normal rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic changes or
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
infection,and it does not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.

4. The patient is brought to the emergency department after a motor vehicle accident. The
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

, a. Mental alertness. IIll
b. Perfusion.
c. Pain.
d. Reactionto Il
medications.
IIll
ANSWER: B IIll
Perfusion is the correct answer, because with internal bleeding, the nurse should monitor vital
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
Signs to be sure perfusion is happening. Mental alertness, pain, and medication reactions
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
areimportant but not the primary concern.

a. Tissue ischemia. IIll
b. Brain malformations. IIll
c. Intestinal blockage. Il
d. Cardiac
dysthymia.
IIll
ANSWER: D IIll
Cardiac dysthymia is a possibility when serum potassium is high or low. Tissue ischemia, brain
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
Malformations, or intestinal blockage do not have a direct correlation to potassium irregularities.

6. A nurse is explaining to a student nurse about perfusion. The nurse knows the student
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIl IIll IIll IIll
understands the concept of perfusion when the student states, Perfusion
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
a. Is a normal function of the body, and I dont have to be concerned about it. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
b. Is monitored by the physician, and I just follow orders.

c. Is monitored by vital signs and capillary refill.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
d. Varies as a person ages, so I would expect changes in the IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll
IIll body.
ANSWER: C IIll
The best method to monitor perfusion is to monitor vital signs and capillary refill. This
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
allows The nurse to know if perfusion is adequate to maintain vital organs. The nurse does
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
have to be concerned about perfusion. Perfusion is not only monitored by the physician but
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
the nurse too. Perfusion does not always change as the person ages.
