A nurse is assessing a newborn for manifestations of a large patent ductus arteriosus.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Widened pulse pressure. Widened pulse pressure is indicative of increased stroke volume or decreased systemic vascular resistance. This finding can be observed in conditions such as aortic regurgitation or septic shock. Bradycardia (
A), cyanosis (
B), and weak pulses (
C) are not associated with widened pulse pressure. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, cyanosis is a bluish discoloration due to lack of oxygen, and weak pulses may indicate poor perfusion.
Therefore, these choices are not the expected findings in the context of widened pulse pressure.
