Cardiac System
In which congenital heart defect (CHD) would the nurse need to take upper
and lower extremity BPs?
1. Transposition of the great vessels.
2. Aortic stenosis (AS).
3. Coarctation of the aorta (COA).
4. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). - correct answer ✔3. With COA there is
narrowing of the aorta, which increases pressure proximal to the defect (upper
extremities) and decreases pressure distal to the defect (lower extremities).
There will be high BP and strong pulses in the upper extremities and
lowerthan- expected BP and weak pulses in the lower extremities.


he school nurse has been following a child who comes to the office frequently
for vague complaints of dizziness and headache. Today, she is brought in
after fainting in the cafeteria following a nosebleed. Her BP is 122/85, and her
radial pulses are bounding. The nurse suspects she has:


1. transposition of the aorta
2. coarctation of the aorta
3. aortic stenosis
4. pulmonic stenosis - correct answer ✔2. In the older child, COA causes
dizziness, headache, fainting, elevated blood pressure, and bounding radial
pulses


A 3-month-old has been diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The
flow of blood through the heart is _____________________. - correct answer
✔Left to right. The pressures in the left side of the heart are greater, causing
the flow of blood to be from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure, or
left to right, increasing the pulmonary blood flow with the extra blood

, ggg - correct answer ✔


A newborn is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect (CHD). The test results
reveal that the lumen of the duct between the aorta and pulmonary artery
remains open. This defect is known as - correct answer ✔Patent ductus
arteriosus or PDA.


Indomethacin may be given to close which congenital heart defect (CHD) in
newborns? - correct answer ✔Patent ductus arteriosus or PDA.


While assessing a newborn with respiratory distress, the nurse auscultates a
machine-like heart murmur. Other findings are a wide pulse pressure, periods
of apnea, increased PaCO2, and decreased PO2. The nurse suspects that
the newborn has:


1. Pulmonary hypertension.
2. Patent ductus arteriosus
3. ventricular septal defect
4. bronchopulmonary dysplasia - correct answer ✔2. The main identifier in
the stem is the machine-like murmur, which is the hallmark of a PDA.


Patent ductus arteriosus causes what type of shunt?
_____________________ - correct answer ✔Left to right. Blood flows from
the higher pressure aorta to the lower pressure pulmonary artery, resulting in
a left to right shunt


Which medication should the nurse give to a child diagnosed with
transposition of the great vessels?
1. Ibuprofen.
