Newborn with suspected tricuspid atresia.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn who was recently delivered. Which of the following clinical signs would cause the nurse to suspect tricuspid atresia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Profound cyanosis. Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart defect where the tricuspid valve is missing or abnormally developed, leading to decreased blood flow to the lungs. This results in severe hypoxemia, causing profound cyanosis. Periorbital edema, absent femoral pulses, and decreased blood pressure to lower extremities are not specific signs of tricuspid atresia. These symptoms may be seen in other conditions such as heart failure or peripheral vascular disease.
