4. ***A nurse is assessing an infant who has a ventricular septal defect. Which o
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
f the following findings should the nurse expect?
6 6 6 6 6 6 6
A. Loud, harsh murmur 6 6

C. Weak femoral pulses 6 6

Rationale: The nurse should expect to hear a loud, harsh murmur with a ventricula
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
r septal defect due to the left-to-
6 6 6 6 6 6
right shunting of blood, which contributes to hyper-
6 6 6 6 6 6 6
trophy of the infant's heart muscle.
6 6 6 6 6 6
Ventricular septal defect does not affect the electrical conduction of the hear
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
t. Therefore, the nurse should not expect to hear dysrhythmias when assessing th
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
is infant. The nurse should expect weak femoral pulses when assessing an infant wh
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
o has coarctation of the aorta. The nurse should expect an elevated blood pressur
