Answer to Question 1

B
Preload is the amount of blood at the end of ventricular diastole. Cardiac output is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle each minute. Cardiac conduction is the rhythmic relaxation and contraction of the atria and ventricles dependent on transmission of electrical impulses. Af-terload is the resistance of the ejection of blood from the left ventricle.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Primary nursing ensures highly individualized care. It is the pattern in which the admitting nurse assumes responsibility for planning client care and evaluating the client's progress. Functional nursing does not provide individualized care; rather, it aims to finish the task. Case-method nursing addresses the health needs of a group of clients. In team nursing, a team of nurses is responsible for a group of clients.
