Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The S2 sound diminishes due to a fall in blood pressure. An accentuated S2 may be heard with HTN, exercise, excitement, and conditions of pulmonary HTN such as CHF and cor pulmonale. S1 diminishes with first-degree heart block, mitral regurgitation, CHF, CAD, and pulmonary or systemic HTN. The nurse should expect a change in the S2 sound.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 2, 5, 6, 4
It is necessary to use a consistent method for ECG analysis. The steps in this process are determining rate, determining regularity, assessing the P wave, assessing the P-to-QRS relationship, determining interval durations, and identifying abnormalities.
