Answer to Question 1

D
The I message does not criticize, blame, or threaten, but identifies a feeling that the event caused. It does not demoralize the child.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. Shortness of breath is expected since more blood flows to the pulmonary area because of the hole.
2. The liver enlarges because of the increase in blood flow.
3. Poor feedings are expected as a result of shortness of breath because of the pulmonary hypertension issues.
4. A systolic murmur is expected due to the blood being forced through the pulmonary valve.
