Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In a newborn, ability to alter cardiac output is limited, and stroke volume cannot be improved. The physiological mechanism by which circulation of oxygenated blood to organs is improved in the newborn is tachycardia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Persistent pulmonary hypertension has a right-to-left shunting of blood across the foramen ovale and through the ductus arteriosus of the heart. Therefore, the appropriate nursing diagnosis prioritizes the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.
