Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Blood flow starts from the right atrium, moves into the right ventricle, then to the lungs, where it is oxygenated and returns to the left atrium, and then flows into the left ventricle before being pumped into the aorta.
B. This sequence incorrectly places the left atrium before the right ventricle, which is not the correct flow of blood.
C. This sequence starts incorrectly with the right ventricle, skipping the left atrium entirely after blood is oxygenated.
D. This option also incorrectly starts with the right ventricle and does not include the proper sequence of blood flow.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Vision is not commonly affected by vancomycin, so it is not a priority to assess.
B. Heart tones are not directly impacted by vancomycin and do not require immediate monitoring unless there are specific cardiovascular concerns.
C. Bowel sounds are not directly influenced by vancomycin and do not need to be prioritized in this case.
D. Vancomycin is known to be ototoxic, especially in high doses or with prolonged use, so monitoring for signs of hearing loss or tinnitus is essential to prevent potential irreversible damage.
