A newborn with a large patent ductus arteriosus.
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), there is continuous communication between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, causing a systolic murmur to be heard upon auscultation. This occurs due to the increased blood flow through the ductus. Chronic hypoxemia (choice
A) is seen in other cardiac defects, not specifically in PDA. Cyanosis with crying (choice
B) is more indicative of a cyanotic heart defect. Weak pulses (choice
C) are not typically associated with PDA.
Therefore, the key finding to expect in a newborn with a large PDA is a systolic murmur.
