Question

question 21 (1 point)
it is not possible for the radial pulse rate to be higher than the apical pulse rate.
true
false
question 22 (1 point)
patients who cannot perform activities of daily living (adls) must remain in the hospital or other health care institution.
true
false
question 23 (1 point)
when a patient has an apical - radial deficit, the apical pulse will be higher than the radial pulse.
true
false
question 24 (1 point)
tunnel vision is double vision.
true
false

Explanation:

• Question 21: The radial pulse is a peripheral manifestation of the heart's pumping. The apical pulse (at the heart) is the source. The radial pulse can't exceed the apical as it's derived from it.
• Question 22: Patients who can't perform ADLs may have home care, assisted - living facilities, etc., not necessarily stay in hospital.
• Question 23: Apical - radial deficit means the apical pulse is higher than the radial (due to ineffective heartbeats not reaching periphery).
• Question 24: Tunnel vision is a restricted field of view (like looking through a tunnel), not double vision (diplopia).

Answer:

• Question 21: True
• Question 22: False
• Question 23: True
• Question 24: False
