NUR2513 EXAM 3 STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED
ANSWERS; ALREADY GRADED A; 2026
Briefly explain the characteristic sound associated with Croup
(Laryngotracheobronchitis). - correct answer- Croup is
characterized by a distinctive barking cough. This sound is
caused by inflammation and narrowing of the larynx, trachea,
and bronchi.
Describe a key developmental difference in the respiratory
system of children under 6 compared to adults. - correct
answer- Children under 6 are primarily abdominal
breathers, while adults are thoracic breathers. This difference in
breathing mechanics is a key developmental consideration.
Describe the direction of blood flow in a child with a Ventricular
Septal Defect (VSD). - correct answer- In a Ventricular
Septal Defect (VSD), there is a hole between the ventricles,
causing increased pulmonary blood flow due to a left-to-right
shunt. Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle flows into the
right ventricle.
