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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Patent ductus arteriosus. In this congenital heart defect, the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel between the pulmonary artery and the aorta, fails to close after birth, leading to increased blood flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery. This results in increased pulmonary blood flow. Tricuspid atresia (
A) is characterized by a missing tricuspid valve, leading to decreased pulmonary blood flow. Coarctation of the aorta (
C) results in narrowing of the aorta, affecting systemic circulation, not pulmonary circulation. Tetralogy of Fallot (
D) involves mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, leading to decreased pulmonary blood flow.
