Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn for manifestations of a large patent ductus arteriosus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Systolic murmur. In a large patent ductus arteriosus (PD
A), blood flows abnormally from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, causing a continuous heart murmur heard during systole. Weak pulses (
A) are not typically associated with PDA. Cyanosis with crying (
B) is more indicative of other cardiac defects like Tetralogy of Fallot. Chronic hypoxemia (
C) is a long-term consequence of PDA, not a primary manifestation.
Therefore, the presence of a systolic murmur is the key finding in a newborn with a large PDA.
