- Peripheral edema
- Weight gain
- Ascites
- Jugular vein distention
- Fatigue
- Cyanosis
2. What do you check before giving digoxin
- Take apical pulse for 1 minute
- Monitor serum potassium levels prior to administering med
3. Why do you wait till 2 years old to repair an atrial septal defect
- Sometimes closes spontaneously
- Delayed allowing growth and minimize risk, typically performed around age 2
to 4 years old

5. What medication helps close ductus arteriosus and why
- Take Indomethacin
- Promotes closure by inhibiting prostaglandins that keep the ductus
open
