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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
