Question 1 of 5
A nurse is auscultating a client's carotid artery while performing a focused cardiac assessment and hears a bruit. The nurse should identify this finding as a manifestation of which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Narrowed arterial lumen. A bruit is a whooshing sound heard over a narrowed arterial lumen due to turbulent blood flow. This commonly occurs in carotid artery stenosis, indicating a risk for stroke. Dysrhythmia (
A) is irregular heart rhythm; cardiac murmur (
B) is abnormal heart sounds; and hypotension (
C) is low blood pressure, none of which directly cause a bruit.
Therefore, the correct choice is D.
