Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A heave is an abnormal tremor that accompanies a vascular or cardiac murmur, so the nurse would listen to heart sounds. Lung sounds and ECGs are not directly related to a heave. Nausea is not related at all.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Complications from insertion of closure devices include bleeding, cardiac tamponade, or migration of the device. The provider needs to be notified stat, and the child prepared to return to the interventional radiology suite. A beta blocker is inappropriate in this setting. The nurse should notify the provider and obtain orders prior to changing IV fluid rates. Documentation needs to be thorough, but should wait until after the provider is notified.
