An infant is brought to the emergency department with suspected coarctation of the aorta. Which clinical symptoms would the nurse expect to find?

A. Cyanosis of the lips and tongue is not a typical finding in coarctation of the aorta; rather, it is more associated with cyanotic congenital heart defects. B. Weak or absent femoral pulses are expected due to reduced blood flow to the lower body, as the coarctation typically occurs distal to the left subclavian artery. C. Bounding pulses in the upper extremities are common because the blood flow to the upper body is increased, leading to stronger pulses. D. High blood pressure in the lower extremities is not typical; instead, there is often lower blood pressure in the lower body due to the obstruction. E. Poor feeding and irritability are common symptoms in infants with heart conditions, as they may be in distress or not getting enough blood flow to meet their metabolic needs.
