A client states to the nurse, "This educational video you gave me shows normal electrical conduction through the heart, but I still don't understand it. Can you explain it to me?" Which responses should the nurse include in the discussion? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply.

B) Conduction begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node and travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node. This is the first step in the electrical conduction process in the heart.
C) Conduction continues through the bundle branches to the Purkinje fibers. After passing through the AV node, the electrical impulse travels down the bundle branches and to the Purkinje fibers to reach the ventricles.
D) Conduction travels from the atrioventricular (AV) node through the bundle of His. This is the pathway for the electrical impulse to travel from the atria to the ventricles in the heart. Choice A is incorrect because the bundle of His actually conducts the electrical impulse quickly. Choice E is incorrect because the SA node is located in the right atrium, not the left atrium.
