B
In monitoring an infant with a congenital heart defect, diminished peripheral pulses are indicative of congestive heart failure. With the heart's inability to fill and effectively contract, blood supply to the periphery is decreased, resulting in diminished peripheral pulses. Cyanotic when crying may be respiratory- or cardiac-related and nonspecific for congestive heart failure.
