Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The pumping heart makes the arterial system a high-pressure system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The dorsalis pedis artery is located on the dorsum of the foot. The nurse should palpate just lateral to and parallel with the extensor tendon of the big toe. The popliteal artery is palpated behind the knee. The posterior tibial pulse is palpated in the groove between the malleolus and the Achilles tendon. No pulse is palpated at the lateral malleolus.
