Question 3:
Which of the following group of symptoms would be suggestive of an infant experiencing a congenital heart defect associated with a decreased pulmonary blood flow pattern?
Tissue perfusion greater than 3 seconds, bluish colored skin, and poor feeding
Abnormal heart sounds, capillary refill less than 2 seconds, and oxygen saturation less than 95%
Capillary refill less than 2 seconds, tissue perfusion less than 3 seconds, and oxygen saturation greater than 95%
Poor feeding, audible heart murmur, and oxygen saturation greater than 95%
Question 4:
Right atrial pressure can be determined by:
palpating the carotid pulse.
identifying the pulsations of the right jugular vein.
analyzing the arterial blood gases.
assessing for dependent edema.
Question 5:
When assessing the heart rate of a healthy 13-month-old child, which one of the following sites is the most appropriate for this child?

Apical pulse between the 3rd and 4th intercostal space in the left midclavicular line
Apical pulse to the right of the midclavicular line in the 3rd intercostal space
Apical pulse in the 5th intercostal space left midclavicular line
Question 6:

lie supine and inhale.
exhale while standing.
turn to the left side and breath deeply.
sit up, lean forward, and exhale.
Question 10:
The horizontal superficial inguinal lymph nodes are located in the anterior thigh below the inguinal ligament and drain lymphatic fluid from all of these areas except:
lower abdomen.
buttock.
testes.
lower vagina.
Question 11:
When auscultating the point of maximal impulse (PMI), apex of the heart, in an adult, the stethoscope is placed at the:
third intercostal space to the left of the midclavicular line.
fifth intercostal space to the left of the midclavicular line.
fourth intercostal space to the right of the midclavicular line.
fifth intercostal space to the right of the midclavicular line.
Question 12:
Deep cervical lymph nodes drain lymphatic fluid from the:
head and neck.
breasts.
mouth, throat, and face.
posterior part of the temporoparietal region.
Question:
