Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
The left ventricle is located on the lower left side of the heart. The nurse would point to option 4 to teach the client about the left ventricle.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The S2 sounds results from the closure of the semilunar valves. The semilunar valves include the aortic and pulmonic valves. A splitting of the S2 occurs toward the end of inspiration in some individuals. This results from a slight difference between the times the aortic and pulmonic valves close. The S1 heart sound results from closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves. The S4 sound may be heard in children, well-conditioned athletes, and healthy elderly individuals without cardiac disease. It is caused by atrial contraction and ejection of blood into the ventricles in late diastole.
