Answer to Question 1

A
A supportive, affirming approach by the nurse will strengthen the client's resolve and help her to appreciate the significance of the event.

Answer to Question 2

B
Mixing of the blood in the right side of the heart will cause excessive blood flow to the lungs and pulmonary congestion.
Cyanosis is seen more frequently with right-to-left shunts.
Increased oxygenation of the tissues is not seen with this type of cardiac defect.
Diuresis is not a common finding with cardiac defects.
