Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Murmurs are sustained swishing or blowing sounds heard at the beginning,middle,or end of systole or diastole.They are caused by increased blood flow through a normal valve,forward flow through a stenotic valve or into a dilated vessel or chamber,or backward flow through a valve that fails to close.Expected outcomes following completion of procedure: Heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (adolescent through adult)and without extra sounds or murmurs;jugular veins distend when patient lies supine and flatten when patient is in sitting position;and point of maximal impulse (PMI)is palpable at fifth intercostal space at left midclavicular line in the adult.
