A nurse is caring for a client who has a defect that allows blood flow from the left side to the right side of the heart through an abnormal connection.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following defect results in increased pulmonary blood flow?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ventricular Septal Defect (VS
D). VSD causes increased pulmonary blood flow due to the communication between the left and right ventricles, leading to shunting of oxygenated blood from the left side to the right side of the heart. This results in increased volume of blood flowing to the lungs, causing pulmonary overcirculation. Tricuspid atresia (
A) leads to decreased pulmonary blood flow, pulmonic stenosis (
B) restricts blood flow to the lungs, and transposition of the great arteries (
D) causes parallel circulation without mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
