atrial emptying by delaying the impulse before transmitting it through the Bundle of His and the

Starting on the right side of the heart, describe the sequence of the blood flow through these
valves.

a. Carries out gas exchange
b. Regulates tidal volume
NURSINGTB.COM
c. Produces hemoglobin
d. Stores oxygen

The alveolus is a capillary membrane that allows gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
during respiration. The alveoli do not store oxygen, regulate tidal volume, or produce
hemoglobin.
4. A nurse auscultates heart sounds. When the nurse hears S2, which valves is the nurse hearing

Prime yourself for your Tests – Study Questions
a. Aortic and mitral
b. Mitral and tricuspid
c. Aortic and pulmonic
d. Mitral and pulmonic
ANS: C
As the ventricles empty, the ventricular pressures decrease, allowing closure of the aortic and
pulmonic valves, producing the second heart sound, S2. The mitral and tricuspid produce the first
heart sound, S1. The aortic and mitral do not close at the same time. The mitral and pulmonic do
not close at the same time.
5. The nurse is teaching about the process of exchanging gases through the alveolar capillary
membrane. Which term will the nurse use to describe this process?
a. Ventilation
b. Surfactant
c. Perfusion
d. Diffusion
ANS: D
Diffusion is the process of gases exchanging across the alveoli and capillaries of body
