Ventricular Septal Defect - answer-A condition that allows blood to shunt left to right, causing increased pulmonary flow and no cyanosis. Characteristic murmur of Ventricular Septal Defect - answer-A loud, harsh murmur with a systolic thrill. Coarctation of the Aorta - answer-A condition where blood pressure is lower in the legs than in the arms. Tetralogy of Fallot - answer-A condition where squatting increases the return of venous blood back to the heart. Blood pressure measurement in Coarctation of the Aorta - answer-Blood pressure is increased proximal to the defect and decreased distal to the coarctation. Effect of Ventricular Septal Defect on Cyanosis - answer-This particular shift does not cause cyanosis. Nursing Process Step for Ventricular Septal Defect - answer-Implementation. Nursing Process Step for Coarctation of the Aorta - answer-Data Collection. Nursing Process Step for Tetralogy of Fallot - answer-Implementation. Cognitive Level for Ventricular Septal Defect - answer-Comprehension. Cognitive Level for Coarctation of the Aorta - answer-Comprehension. Cognitive Level for Tetralogy of Fallot - answer-Comprehension. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) - answer-A condition where blood is circulated through the lungs again, causing pulmonary circulatory congestion. Dyspnea - answer-Difficulty in breathing that can occur due to various medical conditions, including PDA. Digoxin (Lanoxin) - answer-A medication used to treat heart conditions in infants, requiring careful monitoring of the apical heart rate. Apical Heart Rate - answer-The heart rate measured at the apex of the heart, important for determining the administration of digoxin. Rheumatic Fever - answer-An inflammatory disease that can develop after a streptococcal infection, potentially affecting the heart. Carditis - answer-Inflammation of the heart tissues, which can affect the heart muscle and the mitral valve. Congenital Heart Defect - answer-A heart defect present at birth that may cause symptoms such as fatigue during feeding. Congestive Heart Failure - answer-A condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Physiological Integrity - answer-A nursing competency area focusing on the maintenance of physiological functions. Pharmacological Therapies - answer-Treatment methods involving the use of medications to manage health conditions. Pulmonary Circulation - answer-The part of the circulatory system that carries blood to the lungs for oxygenation. Myocardial Hypoxia - answer-A condition where the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. Fatigue during Feeding - answer-A common symptom in infants with congenital cardiac problems, indicating possible heart defects. Mitral Valve - answer-A valve in the heart that is frequently involved in carditis due to rheumatic fever. Aortic and Pulmonic Valves - answer-Heart valves that may be affected by carditis in rheumatic fever. Heart Muscle - answer-The muscular tissue of the heart that can be involved in inflammatory conditions like carditis. Nursing Process Step: Planning - answer-A step in the nursing process that involves strategizing care for patients. Nursing Process Step: Data Collection - answer-A step in the nursing process that involves gathering information about the patient's condition. Cognitive Level: Comprehension - answer-A level of understanding that involves grasping the meaning of information. Cognitive Level: Application - answer-A level of understanding that involves applying knowledge to new situations. Cognitive Level: Knowledge - answer-A level of understanding that involves recalling facts and information. Kawasaki disease - answer-Inflammation weakens blood vessels, leading to aneurysm. Atherosclerosis - answer-Increased lipid levels lead to the development of atherosclerosis. Mitral valve stenosis - answer-Untreated disease causes mitral valve stenosis. Cardiac workload - answer-Altered blood flow increases cardiac workload with resulting heart failure. Clubbing of fingers - answer-Clubbing occurs as a result of chronic hypoxia. Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer - answer-An elevated ASO titer can indicate a diagnosis of rheumatic fever when combined with specific symptoms. Subcutaneous nodules - answer-Subcutaneous nodules are one of the symptoms that can indicate rheumatic fever. Painful, tender joints - answer-Painful, tender joints can be a symptom of rheumatic fever. Erythema marginatum - answer-Erythema marginatum is a symptom that can indicate rheumatic fever. Arthralgia - answer-Arthralgia can be a symptom of rheumatic fever. Chorea - answer-Chorea is a symptom that can be associated with rheumatic fever. Elevated sedimentation rate - answer-An elevated sedimentation rate can be a finding in rheumatic fever. Left-to-right shunting - answer-Clubbing occurs as a result of a left-to-right shunting of blood. Decreased cardiac output - answer-Clubbing occurs as a result of decreased cardiac output.
