ATI Pediatrics Exam 4 Questions
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. A nurse should educate the parents 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. Heart transplant may be necessary in the future.
Option B is incorrect because creating an opening between the atria and ventricles does not address the specific issue described in the question.
Option C is incorrect as the displacement of the pulmonary artery and aortic artery is not mentioned in the question stem.
Option D is incorrect as prostaglandin may help temporarily but is not a definitive treatment.
