1. A group of students is reviewing the structures of the heart, noting that the thickest
layer of the heart is made up of contractile muscle cells. The students are correct in
identifying this layer as which of the following?
o A) Myocardium
o B) Epicardium
o C) Endocardium
o D) Pericardium
o Correct Answer: A) Myocardium
o Rationale: The myocardium is the muscular middle layer of the heart,
responsible for contraction and pumping blood.
2. A nurse is reviewing the electrical conduction system of the heart in preparation for
assessing a client with a conduction problem. The nurse should be aware that the
electrical signal originates in which of the following locations?
o A) Bundle of His
o B) Purkinje fibers
o C) Sinoatrial node
o D) AV node
o Correct Answer: C) Sinoatrial node
o Rationale: The sinoatrial (SA) node is the primary pacemaker of the heart,
generating electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat.
3. The nurse is analyzing the data from the assessment of a client’s heart and neck vessels.
The client’s first heart sound corresponds with what event in the cardiac cycle?
o A) Isometric contraction
o B) Closure of the semilunar valves
o C) Beginning of diastole
o D) Closure of the atrioventricular valves
o Correct Answer: D) Closure of the atrioventricular valves
o Rationale: The first heart sound (S1) occurs with the closure of the AV valves
(mitral and tricuspid), marking the beginning of ventricular contraction.
4. The nurse is assessing a client who is in uncompensated right-sided heart failure. What
assessment finding should the nurse anticipate?
o A) Increased jugular venous pressure
o B) Bradycardia
o C) Decreased blood pressure
o D) Dysrhythmias
o Correct Answer: A) Increased jugular venous pressure
o Rationale: In right-sided heart failure, blood backs up into the venous system,
leading to elevated jugular venous pressure.
5. The nurse is assessing a client with a cardiac condition who complains of not sleeping
well and of having to get up frequently at night to urinate. The nurse should recognize
what implication of this statement?
o A) The client may have developed a cardiac conduction problem.
o B) The client may be experiencing symptoms of heart failure.
o C) The client’s cardiac problem is being adequately compensated for.
o D) The client may be at increased risk for myocardial infarction.
o Correct Answer: B) The client may be experiencing symptoms of heart failure.
o Rationale: Nocturia and difficulty sleeping can be symptoms of heart failure due
to fluid overload.
