Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
On physical examination, the child with patent ductus arteriosus usually has a wide pulse pressure. The diastolic pressure is low because of the shunt or runoff of blood, which reduces resistance. Manifestations of patent ductus arteriosus do not include a slow heart rate, expiratory grunt, or absent femoral pulses.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Pneumonia interferes with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lung alveoli. This can lead to fatigue and generalized activity intolerance. Pain is not a typical manifestation of pneumonia. Hypervolemia is not associated with pneumonia. Excess fluid volume is also not associated with pneumonia.
