Extract:
Nick was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following responses should the nurse educate his parents regarding the treatment of this disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it correctly states that surgery is a palliative measure for the disease. This means that surgery will help manage symptoms and improve quality of life but will not cure the underlying condition.
Choice B is incorrect because creating an opening between the atria and ventricles is not a cure for the disease.
Choice C is incorrect because the problem is not caused by displacement of arteries, so surgery to put them back in place is not the appropriate treatment.
Choice D is incorrect because prostaglandin may help in certain cases but is not a definitive treatment for this disease.
