Within a normal physiologic range,an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume would lead the nurse to monitor for:
A) An increased force of contraction
B) A decrease in cardiac output
C) An increase in heart rate
D) Heart failure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in end-diastolic volume leads to an increased force of contraction because fibers are stretched to handle increased volume.
Cardiac output would increase.
Although volume increases,heart rate does not respond accordingly.
An increase in end-diastolic volume would not lead to heart failure.Failure results in output decrease.
