Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hemodynamic monitoring systems consist of equipment that detects small physiological signal (vascular pressure) changes and converts them to electrical impulses, which can then be amplified and recorded on a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor or strip chart recorder. A strain gauge trans-ducer is utilized to measure vascular pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Preload is the filling pressure of the ventricle at the end of ventricular diastole and is estimated by measuring the end-diastolic pressures. In the case of right ventricular preload the measurement would be right ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
