Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A When restraints are necessary, the nurse should institute the least restrictive type
of restraint.
B Knots must be tied so that they can be easily undone for quick access to the
child.
C The ties are never tied to the mattress or side rails. They should be secured to a
stable device, such as the bed frame.
D Restraints are removed every 2 hours to allow for range of motion, position
changes, and assessment of skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Ventricular septal defect causes a left-to-right shunting of blood, thus increasing
pulmonary blood flow.
B Coarctation of the aorta is a stenotic lesion that causes increased resistance to
blood flow from the proximal to distal aorta.
C The defects associated with tetralogy of Fallot result in a right-to-left shunting of
blood, thus decreasing pulmonary blood flow.
D Pulmonary stenosis causes obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to
the pulmonary artery. Pulmonary blood flow is decreased.
