Name 2 things to inspect for during a cardiac assessment.
What are visible pulsations, skin color, jugular vein distention, heaves/lifts?
Cardiac output is calculated by these two measurements.
What is stroke volume x heart rate?
Side of the heart that is a high pressure system.
What is left side?
Abnormal sound auscultated over major arteries.
What is a bruit?
What is the pulmonary artery?
Whooshing sound heard after S1 and before S2.

What is afterload?
Assessment technique that if performed incorrectly can cut off blood supply to the brain.
What is palpating the carotid arteries?
Heart sound considered normal in children, but abnormal in adults.
What is S3?
The sequence of cardiac conduction (in order).
