A nurse is caring for an infant who has coarctation of the aorta. Which of the following should the nurse identify as an expected finding?

A. Coarctation of the aorta (a narrowing of the aorta) causes decreased blood flow to the lower extremities, leading to weak or absent femoral pulses. B. Upper extremity hypertension is expected, not hypotension. The narrowing increases blood pressure in the upper body. C. Increased intracranial pressure is not a typical finding in coarctation of the aorta. D. Frequent nosebleeds are not a direct symptom, although hypertension can contribute to them in older children.
