The Nurse Is Caring for a Child with a Diagnosis

The nurse is caring for a child with a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. The child's parent asks the nurse, "How does Kawasaki disease affect my child's heart and blood vessels?" The nurse's response is based on the understanding that:

A) Inflammation weakens blood vessels, leading to aneurism.
B) Increased lipid levels lead to the development of atherosclerosis.
C) Untreated disease causes mitral valve stenosis.
D) Altered blood flow increases cardiac workload with resulting heart failure.
