Assessment of a term neonate at 8 hours after birth reveals tachypnea, diminished femoral pulses, and poor lower body perfusion. the nurse notifies the health care provider (hcp) based on the interpretation that these symptoms are associated with which complication? pulmonary atresia coarctation of the aorta atrioventricular septal defect transposition of the great arteries

The correct answer is "coarctation of the aorta". In coarctation of the aorta, there is an abnormal narrowing of the aorta, most commonly in the abdominal aorta, which compromises blood flow from going into the lower extremities. Patients with coarctation of the aorta most commonly presents with tachypnea as this is a high pressure congenital heart defect which makes breathing harder for the baby; diminished femoral pulses and poor lower body perfusion as the narrowing compromises blood flow. In physical examination, there will be a narrow ankle-brachial index, or the difference between the pulse pressures of the ankle (lower extremity) and the brachium (upper extremity).

Coarctation of the aorta.Explanation:

This is a medical condition in which the aorta, the largest blood vessel that leaves the heart, contracts. This blood vessel is tasked with carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Also known as Aortic narrowing, this medical condition can be identified by symptoms like tachypnea, diminished femoral pulses, and poor lower body perfusion.
