Physical exam reveals decreased cardiac output, hypotension, tachycardia, and a loud murmur suggestive of aortic stenosis. Which of the following would be expected with this diagnosis? 15. A 72-year-old female has a history of right heart failure caused by a right ventricular myocardial infarction. Which of the following symptoms are specifically related to her right heart failure? 16. An 8-week-old infant presents to her primary care provider for a well-baby check. Physical exam reveals a murmur, and an echocardiogram shows a large ventricular septal defect. If left untreated, what condition should the nurse discuss with the parents? 17. A 72-year-old female has a history of hypertension and atherosclerosis. An echocardiogram reveals backflow into the left ventricle. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis documented on the chart? 18. While planning care, the nurse remembers which principle? In valvular _____, the valve is constricted and narrowed because the vale leaflets, or cusps, fail to open completely. 19. A newborn child has a murmur and cyanosis. An echocardiogram reveals that the tricuspid valve failed to develop and no blood flows between the right atrium and ventricle. What term will the nurse use to describe this condition? Tricuspid: 20. A 27-year-old male is admitted to a neurologic unit with a complete C-5 spinal cord transection. On initial assessment, he is bradycardic, hypotensive, and hyperventilating. He appears to be going into shock. The most likely mechanism of his shock is: 21. A 30-year-old female presents to her primary care provider with fever, cardiac murmur, and petechial skin lesions.

Which of the following assessments would aid in diagnosis? 26. A nurse is teaching staff about endocarditis. Which information should the nurse include? Inflammation cells have difficulty limiting the colonization of microorganisms in infective endocarditis because the: 27. A 75-year-old male has severe chest pain and dials 911.
