Answer to Question 1

D
Settings in which large groups of people are present should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after discharge, including day care. The child should resume his regular bedtime and sleep schedule after discharge. Activities during which the child could fall, such as riding a bicycle, are avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after discharge. Large crowds of people should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after discharge, including public worship.

Answer to Question 2

A
The body attempts to improve tissue oxygenation by producing additional red blood cells and thereby increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Pulmonary hypertension is a clinical consequence of cyanosis. Dehydration can occur rapidly in cyanotic heart disease. It is not a compensatory mechanism to chronic hypoxia. Anemia may develop as a result of increased blood viscosity.
