Quiz 3 Practice Quiz

Companion to the NUR 120 Quiz 3 Study Guide — Blood Flow Through the Heart. About forty-five minutes.

The real quiz is one exercise: “Fill in the blank from word bank depicting the flow of blood starting with the Superior/Inferior Vena Cava”, worth 10 points. There are no options to recognise — you place words from a bank into the path, and the path starts for you at the vena cavae.

This paper is about half and half. Half is the path itself — every stop, both sides, the other names a bank might use, and which vessels carry which blood. The other half is the path applied: which valves make S1 and S2 and where they are heard, and what backs up where when one part fails. The heart lab asked “what happens with abnormalities”, and the Exam 4 blueprint asks for the symptoms “when blood is not moving forward on the right side of the heart and left side of the heart”; those items are the bridge from this quiz to that exam.

Starred items test content a course document marks. The cardiac deck has no drawn stars; it has a drawn arrow on the point of maximal impulse, block arrows labelling diastole as filling and systole as ejection, and one line in red. The heart lab prep sheet says “Memorize/understand the blood flow through the heart”, and the APETM activity says you will be tested on the listening sites. Every one of those is represented here.

How it works: pick an answer and the rationale appears immediately. Select-all questions need a Check click; ordering questions are answered by clicking the steps in sequence, with an Undo last if you mis-click. Word-bank questions work like the real quiz: click a word in the bank under the blank (or type it) and press Check. The banks hold more words than any one blank needs, scrambled differently for each question, and include a decoy that is never a stop; two of them reproduce the heart lab worksheet’s bank exactly. No single question asks for the whole chain at once — for that, use the blood-flow drill in Part 2 of the study guide. Nothing is saved when you close the page.

Two halves. Questions 1–28 are recall: the path stop by stop, the other names, which side and which colour, and the first heart-sound facts. Questions 29–62 are scenario and edge-case items, built on the shapes this course actually uses: ranking two abnormal findings, reading the same finding two opposite ways, deciding whether one finding really explains another, choosing a specific instruction over a vague but defensible one, classifying by mechanism rather than by feel, ordering actions where every option is correct, the distractor whose reasoning is usually right, and questions that ask two things at once. The second half is the harder practice.
