I posted this on the EPN board about 2 days ago but I have not got an answer yet so I thought I would try here so I can make sure I am studying in the right direction, testing for this on Friday.
Here is the question: On congenital anomolies there are diseases listed on Section A and Clinical Manifestations listed on Section B, each are broken down by body system.
Example: Cardiac Conditions: PDA, Ventricular Defect, Tetralogy of Fallot. Cardiac S/S or Clinical Manifestations: Cyanosis, Tachycardia and Squatting.
So 3 disorders and only 3 s/s are given. Are these the only s/s of these diseases I really need to know for exam purposes.
Any help would be appreciated.
