A nurse is providing education to the family of a school aged child who has a history of atrial septal defect (ASD) with surgical repair. The child's caregivers ask the nurse if their child can play sports. Which of the following statements made by the nurse is most appropriate?

A. "Your child cannot participate in any sports." This is overly restrictive. After successful ASD repair and medical clearance, most children may resume age-appropriate activities. B. "Your child can participate in team sports as tolerated." Following surgical repair and physician clearance, children are usually allowed to participate in sports per their tolerance and without blanket restrictions unless there are complications. C. "Your child can participate in activities like riding a bike, but they should not participate in sports." This unnecessarily limits activity; moderate-to-vigorous activities and team sports are generally allowed if the child is asymptomatic and cleared. D. "Your child can participate in only individual sports, no team sports." There’s no specific contraindication to team sports after ASD repair; recommendations depend on the child’s clinical status, not team-versus-individual sport.
