Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Patent ductus arteriosus allows blood to flow from the high-pressure aorta to the
low-pressure pulmonary artery, resulting in a left-to-right shunt.
B Patent ductus arteriosus is failure of the fetal shunt between the aorta and the
pulmonary artery to close.
C Patent ductus arteriosus is not a stenotic lesion. Patent ductus arteriosus can be
closed both medically and surgically.
D Atrioventricular defect occurs when fetal development of the endocardial
cushions is disturbed, resulting in abnormalities in the atrial and ventricular septa
and the atrioventricular valves.

A When gloves are worn, the hands can be cleaned using an alcohol-based hand
rub. If hands are visibly soiled they should be washed with soap and water.
