The nurse caring for a 22-pound 1-year-old child who has had open heart surgery is aware that the minimum acceptable urine output for the child

Option A is incorrect because Tanner staging is not solely based on developmental achievement according to age. It assesses physical development irrespective of age.

Option B is incorrect because it is not based on the color of pigmentation on the scrotum but rather on multiple physical characteristics.

Option C. Based on the development of pubic hair in girls.

The Tanner staging system, also known as sexual maturity rating or sexual maturity scale, is a system used to assess the sexual development of children and adolescents based on physical characteristics, primarily focusing on secondary sexual characteristics. It is used to assess the stage of puberty in both boys and girls. In the case of girls, it includes the development of pubic hair, breast development, and other changes like the growth of the areola.

Option D is incorrect because it doesn't solely focus on staged voice changes in males. The Tanner staging system includes a range of characteristics, including voice changes, genital development, and pubic hair growth, to assess sexual maturity in both males and females.

In transposition of the great vessels (TGV), the aorta and the pulmonary artery are switched, causing oxygen-rich blood to be pumped back to the lungs and oxygen-poor blood to be pumped out to the body. The ductus arteriosus, a fetal blood vessel that normally closes shortly after birth, allows blood to mix between the two circulations.

Prostaglandin E1 is used to keep the ductus arteriosus open, allowing for a controlled mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which can improve oxygen delivery to the body in cases of TGV. This helps maintain oxygenation until corrective surgical interventions can be performed.

The other options, A (decrease pulmonary congestion), B (stimulate the production of red blood cells), and D (increase blood flow to the system), do not accurately describe the primary purpose of Prostaglandin E1 in the context of TGV. The main goal is to maintain a pathway for oxygenated blood to mix with deoxygenated blood to improve oxygen delivery to the body.
