ATI Pediatrics Exam 4 Questions
Extract:
An 8-year-old patient presents to his clinic, complaining of dizziness, headaches, and epistaxis. The nurse took the patient's vital signs and noticed that he had high blood pressure in his arms and bounding upper extremity pulses; however, when she proceeded to check his lower extremity pulses, they were weak, and his legs were pale and cool to touch.
Question 1 of 5
What does this patient present signs of?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Coarctation of the Aorta. The patient likely presents with hypertension in the upper extremities, weak pulses in the lower extremities, and a systolic murmur. This is due to narrowing of the aorta, causing increased pressure proximal to the coarctation and decreased pressure distally. Tetralogy of Fallot presents with cyanosis and a boot-shaped heart on X-ray. Pulmonic Stenosis presents with a systolic ejection murmur. Tricuspid Atresia presents with cyanosis and a single S2 heart sound.
