b. A 23 y/o male with Marfan's syndrome.
c. An 80 y/o male with atrial fibrillation.

Answer 1

The nurse would suspect the 23 y/o male with Marfan's syndrome of having mitral valve prolapse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse would suspect the 23 y/o male with Marfan's syndrome of having mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition where the mitral valve in the heart bulges back into the left atrium when the heart contracts. Marfan's syndrome is a genetic disorder that can lead to problems with the connective tissue, including the heart valves.
