The nurse is conducting an education class about myocardial blood supply for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The nurse determines that learning has occurred when the patients make which statements
1. "The heart has right and left arteries that arise from the aorta."
2. "The coronary arteries carry blood away from the heart to the right atrium."
3. "The heart receives its oxygen through the blood that fills it."
4. "Coronary arteries primarily carry blood to the left ventricle."
5. "The right and left arteries have smaller branches that go around the heart."

Rationale 1: The myocardium receives blood from the right and left coronary arteries that arise from aortic sinuses at the base of the aorta.
Rationale 2: The coronary veins, not arteries, carry blood to the right atrium.
Rationale 3: Although the heart is filled with blood, this is not its source of oxygen.
Rationale 4: The coronary arteries supply blood to all areas of the heart, not primarily the left ventricle.
Rationale 5: The right and left coronary arteries diverge into smaller branches that encircle the heart.
Global Rationale: The myocardium receives blood from the right and left coronary arteries that arise from aortic sinuses at the base of the aorta. These diverge into smaller branches that encircle the heart. The coronary veins, not arteries, carry blood to the right atrium. The coronary arteries supply blood to all areas of the heart, not primarily the left ventricle. Although the heart is filled with blood, this is not its source of oxygen.
