Answer to Question 1

B
The administration of Prostaglandin E1 has been found beneficial in keeping the ductus arteriosus open after birth. This opening allows oxygenated blood to enter the systemic circulation. Without a patent ductus or a septal defect, the child would not have access to oxygenated blood.

Answer to Question 2

C
The focus of the nursing process is that of the child and family.
