Question 1 of 5
An infant is brought to the emergency department with suspected coarctation of the aorta. Which clinical symptoms would the nurse expect to find?
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: The correct answer is B, C, and E. Weak or absent femoral pulses indicate reduced blood flow past the coarctation. Bounding pulses in the upper extremities are a compensatory mechanism due to increased pressure in the upper body. Poor feeding and irritability may result from decreased cardiac output and oxygen delivery. A is incorrect as cyanosis typically occurs with heart defects affecting oxygenation. D is incorrect as high blood pressure is usually found in upper extremities. F and G are not provided as choices.
