Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has a congenital heart defect. Which of the following defects is associated with increased pulmonary blood flow?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Patent ductus arteriosus (PD
A). PDA is associated with increased pulmonary blood flow because it allows blood to shunt from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, resulting in excessive blood flow to the lungs. Tricuspid atresia (
A) causes decreased pulmonary blood flow. Tetralogy of Fallot (
B) results in decreased pulmonary blood flow due to a right-to-left shunt. Coarctation of the aorta (
D) does not directly affect pulmonary blood flow.
