Rationale: The Jatene procedure is a surgical technique used to correct Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). In this procedure, the great arteries (aorta and pulmonary artery) are switched back to their correct positions. The aorta is connected to the left ventricle, and the pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle. This correction allows for oxygen-rich blood to flow from the left side of the heart to the body, and oxygen-poor blood to flow from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The Jatene procedure is preferred over other methods like the Rashkind procedure, Rastelli procedure, or pulmonary artery banding for this specific purpose of correcting the high-pressure circulation seen in TGA.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to high intraocular pressure (IOP). In glaucoma, there is an imbalance between the production and drainage of aqueous humor in the eye, leading to increased pressure inside the eye. This elevated pressure can cause damage to the optic nerve, which is essential for vision, resulting in vision loss. Therefore, the best description by the nurse to explain glaucoma to a patient would be that there is an increase in intraocular pressure (Choice B).
