CCRN Critical Care Nursing

Category - Pediatrics

A nurse must be aware that infants with heart failure require immediate scheduling of:
  1. operations during childhood.
  2. same medications as that of an adult.
  3. different treatment as that of an adult.
  4. meticulous heart surgery.
Explanation
Answer: B - For a reason that mechanism of heart failure is exactly the same in pediatrics and geriatrics. Same medications like cardiac glycosides and furosemide are utilized, although the dosage will be different. Other options are uncertain because there are other treatments which are successful other than surgeries.
