Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Tetralogy of Fallot involves decreased pulmonary blood flow due to a combination of defects, including pulmonary stenosis.

B. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) causes increased pulmonary blood flow due to the abnormal persistence of the ductus arteriosus, leading to a left-to-right shunt and increased blood flow to the lungs.

C. Coarctation of the aorta causes obstructed blood flow, not increased pulmonary blood flow.

D. Tricuspid atresia results in decreased pulmonary blood flow as well due to the lack of a functional tricuspid valve.

A. "Oxygen saturation levels elevate due to scaring of lung tissue and impairment of gas exchange." B. "The condition impairs the function of the intestines, therefore affecting blood glucose levels." C. "The condition produces mucus in the lungs, affecting potassium levels." D. "The condition affects the movement of sodium and water, lowering sodium levels."

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Oxygen saturation levels typically decrease, not elevate, in cystic fibrosis due to scarring and impairment of lung function, leading to difficulty with gas exchange.

B. Cystic fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and digestive system but does not directly impact blood glucose levels unless diabetes develops as a complication.

C. Cystic fibrosis affects mucus production in the lungs, but potassium levels are not typically affected in the way described. Potassium imbalance would be more related to renal function or other factors.

D. Cystic fibrosis affects the movement of sodium and water across cell membranes, leading to thickened mucus and an increased risk of electrolyte imbalances, such as low sodium levels (hyponatremia).
