168) ANSWER
B) Dyspnea
RATIONALE
Children with acyanotic heart defects may have a
murmur without other symptoms. Dyspnea and tachycardia are early signs of
pulmonary edema, which may lead to congestive heart failure. Eliminate all
normal findings in a patient with acyanotic heart disease. Weight gain could be
a positive growth sign or a sign of impending heart failure. Without additional
information, that option is questionable. Dyspnea is a negative finding that
should be reported.
