Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Innocent heart murmurs will not be heard when the child reaches adolescence; therefore, it will not continue throughout life.
B Correct: As many as 50 of all school-aged children have an innocent heart murmur between the ages of 6 and 10 years of age. Such murmurs are not associated with heart disease and will not be heard when the child reaches adolescence.
C Incorrect: It is not completely accurate to suggest that most children are lucky, with the murmur going away after a year or two. While the murmur may resolve within a few years, it is prudent to explain the pathophysiology of the resolution, rather than to simply suggest it is grounded in luck.
D Incorrect: The murmur is not cured as a result of rest, diet, and medication.
