Question 1

Why must supplemental oxygen be judiciously administered to patients with an atrioventricular canal defect?

Accepted Answer

A) To prevent the development of retinopathy of prematurity 
B) To avoid oxygen-induced hypoventilation 
C) To minimize pulmonary vascular dilation 
D) To reduce oxidative stress

C) To minimize pulmonary vascular dilation 
D) To reduce oxidative stress

Question 2

Which of the following clinical pathophysiologic manifestations are consistent with a large ventricular septal defect (VSD)?
I.The majority of the blood flow is shunted from left right to right left.
II.Shunting typically occurs during ventricular diastole,which causes left atrial enlargement.
III.Chest radiography reveals an enlarged cardiac silhouette and increased pulmonary vascular markings,increasing pulmonary blood flow.
IV.Thickening and fibrosing of the pulmonary veins develop,decreasing pulmonary artery pressure.

Accepted Answer

A) II and III only 
B) I and IV only 
C) I,II,and III only 
D) II,III,and IV only 
A) II and III only 
B) I and IV only 
C) I,II,and III only 
D) II,III,and IV only

Question 3

How should the therapist interpret a preductal-to-postductal PaO₂ difference of 8 mm Hg in a neonate?

Accepted Answer

A) Unreliable data 
B) Absence of ductal shunting 
C) Presence of ductal shunting 
D) Inconclusive data 
A) Unreliable data 
B) Absence of ductal shunting 
C) Presence of ductal shunting 
D) Inconclusive data

Question 4

Which of the following clinical features characterize a critical aortic stenosis in a neonate?

Accepted Answer

A) Chest radiography reveals pleural effusion and pulmonary engorgement. 
B) The neonate often has metabolic alkalosis. 
C) The neonate presents in cardiogenic shock with hypotension. 
D) These infants are rarely symptomatic during the first month of life.
