A nurse is assessing a young child and suspects coarctation of the aorta based on which finding?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Hypotension is not typically associated with coarctation of the aorta; it more often leads to hypertension in the upper body. B. Unequal pulses in the upper and lower extremities are a classic sign of coarctation of the aorta, as the obstruction typically affects blood flow to the lower body. C. Excessive crying is not a specific indicator of coarctation of the aorta and can occur due to various reasons. D. A diastolic murmur is not a primary indicator of coarctation of the aorta; it is more associated with other cardiac conditions.
