Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The Glenn procedure is used to surgically repair hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The Jatene procedure and the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure surgically repairs the Transportation of Great Arteries. The Fontan procedure surgically repairs tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, E

Manifestations of tetralogy of Fallot include a palpable thrill in the pulmonic area, clubbing of the fingers due to reduce oxygenation, and the knee-chest position, which the child will perform to decrease the return of systemic venous blood to the heart. A cough and apneic periods are not manifestations of this congenital heart defect.
