Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Elective repair of tetralogy of Fallot is usually performed in the first year of life. Indications for repair include increasing cyanosis and the development of hypercyanotic spells. The child would not have a weight gain, pale skin color, or decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Injuries are the most common cause of death in children ages 1 through 4 years. It is the highest rate of death from injuries of any childhood age group except adolescence. Congenital disorders are the second leading cause of death in this age group. Infectious and childhood diseases are less common causes of death in this age group.
