Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Cardiac output is the amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice B rationale:
The cardiac cycle refers to the sequence of events that occur when the heart beats. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice C rationale:
Systole is the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice D rationale:
Stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat. This is the correct answer.

A. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN). B. Nasogastric. C. Parenteral. D. Enteral.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. It’s not the same as a feeding ostomy.
Choice B rationale:
Nasogastric refers to a tube that is placed through the nose into the stomach. It’s not a term for a feeding method.
Choice C rationale:
Parenteral refers to routes of administration that are not oral or enteral, such as intravenous. It’s not the same as a feeding ostomy.
Choice D rationale:
Enteral feeding is the correct term for feeding a patient through a feeding ostomy. It involves delivering nutrition directly to the stomach or small intestine.
