Passage / Scenario
A 3-year-old child who has aortic stenosis.Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
A,C,E
Rationale
The correct findings the nurse should expect are A, C, and E. A murmur may indicate a heart valve issue, hypotension suggests decreased blood pressure, and weak pulses may signify poor perfusion. Bradycardia (B) is not listed as an expected finding. Clubbing of the nail beds (D) is associated with chronic hypoxia, not necessarily the primary issue. No information is provided for choices F and G. In summary, the correct choices align with cardiovascular assessment and perfusion status, while the incorrect choices are either unrelated or not directly indicated in the scenario.
