ATI Nur 307 Pediatrics Final Exam Questions
Extract:
The family has just been informed by the healthcare provider that their newborn is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
Question 1 of 5
What will the nurse tell the family about the defects of TOF? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, C, and E. TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot) is characterized by four defects: pulmonary stenosis (
A), overriding aorta (
B), right ventricular hypertrophy (
C), and ventricular septal defect (E). Pulmonary stenosis causes obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. Overriding aorta refers to the aorta being positioned directly over the ventricular septal defect instead of just over the left ventricle. Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs due to increased workload on the right ventricle. Ventricular septal defect is a hole between the heart's lower chambers.
Choices D, F, and G are incorrect as they do not correspond to the defects typically seen in TOF.
