A nurse knows that the mother understands the discharge instructions for an 8 month old that had a cardiac catheterization for an ASD when the mother states:
 
  1. We will need to schedule weekly visits to make sure the heart is functioning properly..
   2. The surgical site will require us to keep our child in isolation at home..
   3. We will need to monitor the insertion site for drainage and temperature changes..
   4. My child will not have any more issues with arrhythmias..

Question 2
