A nurse is discussing contraceptives with an adolescent who has disabilities. The adolescent has difficulty with motor movements and decreased memory. Which of the following birth control methods would be most appropriate for this child?

A. "Tetralogy of Fallot is a group of four heart defects that impact circulation of blood in your child's body. These are pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta." This is the correct definition of Tetralogy of Fallot. The four defects result in decreased oxygenation of blood, leading to cyanosis and other circulatory problems that require medical intervention.

B. "Tetralogy of Fallot is a heart defect that impacts circulation in your child's body due to the atypical placement of the aorta." While an overriding aorta is one of the four defects in Tetralogy of Fallot, it is not the sole cause of circulatory problems. The condition results from a combination of four structural abnormalities, not just aortic malposition.

C. "Tetralogy of Fallot is a group of heart defects that impact the circulation of blood in your child's body. These are aortic stenosis, atrial septal defect, and left ventricular hypertrophy." This statement describes different congenital heart defects but does not accurately define Tetralogy of Fallot. Aortic stenosis and atrial septal defects are not components of this condition.

D. "Tetralogy of Fallot is a heart defect that impacts circulation in your child's body due to an opening in the wall between the ventricles, causing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood." While a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the four components, it is not the only issue affecting circulation. The combination of all four defects contributes to the condition's severity.

A. An electrical source. Electrical burns often cause deep tissue damage that may not be visible on the surface. These burns can extend beyond the skin, affecting muscles, nerves, and internal organs, making them more severe than partial-thickness burns.

B. Contact with hot liquid. Scald burns from hot liquids (e.g., boiling water, coffee, soup) are a common cause of partial-thickness burns. These burns affect the epidermis and part of the dermis, leading to blistering, redness, and pain.

C. A mild sunburn. Mild sunburns typically cause superficial burns (first-degree burns), affecting only the epidermis and resulting in redness and discomfort without blisters. Partial-thickness burns involve deeper skin layers.

D. Contact with a flame. Direct contact with a flame is more likely to cause deeper burns, often resulting in full-thickness burns (third-degree) rather than partial-thickness burns.
