ATI Capstone Week 13 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn who has a coarctation of the aorta. Which of the following should the nurse recognize as a clinical manifestation of coarctation of the aorta?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increased blood pressure in the arms with decreased blood pressure in the legs. Coarctation of the aorta causes narrowing of the aorta, leading to increased blood pressure in the upper body due to increased workload on the heart to pump blood through the narrowed vessel. Decreased blood pressure in the legs occurs because the lower body receives less blood flow. This results in weakened or absent pulses in the lower extremities.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the typical clinical manifestations of coarctation of the aorta.
