Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching several newly licensed nurses about cardiac valve replacement. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Among the four heart valves (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary), the aortic and mitral valves are indeed the most commonly replaced valves. Aortic stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation are frequent indications for valve replacement. Aortic stenosis primarily affects the left ventricle, not the right. Mitral valve insufficiency primarily causes problems on the left side of the heart. The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart and its inadequate closure affects the right side, not the left ventricle.
