The og answer is correct, I’m just going to explain it a bit more. Since the code has been called, there are possible casualties and possible patients that will come into your care, but are not yet in your care. Your primary responsibility is to take care of the patient who is there with you. Elective surgery will be canceled and rescheduled. You should bring the patient back to their room and get them discharged as soon as possible. You will then meet with your attendings team and they will instruct you on protocol and your function until the code is called off or resolved

Which chamber of the heart generates the highest blood pressure?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

d. left ventricle

Explanation:

Heart consists of four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle. The atria are located above the ventricles and their function is to  pump blood to the ventricles.

Right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs via pulmonary artery. Pulmonary vein brings back oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium. From here the blood is sent to left ventricle. Left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body via aorta. Since it has to make blood reach to every part of the body from head to toes, it generates maximum pressure. Therefore, left ventricle also has thickest heart muscles.
