Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Orthostatic hypotension is not present with coarctation of the aorta.
B Systolic hypertension may be detected in the upper extremities.
C The left arm may not accurately reflect systolic hypertension because the left
subclavian artery can be involved in the coarctation.
D The classic finding in children with coarctation of the aorta is a disparity in
pulses and blood pressures between the upper and lower extremities.

infertile.
