The mother of a newborn found to have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia asks the nurse to explain the diagnosis. The nurse tells the mother that in this condition:
a) The abdominal organs protrude through a hole in the abdominal wall.
b) There is a malformation of the diaphragm, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity.
c) The newborn has an extra diaphragm, causing respiratory distress.
d) The diaphragm is absent, leading to difficulty swallowing.
