Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors or statins are used to treat high cholesterol levels by inhibiting this step in cholesterol synthesis. Abilify is for schizophrenia; Pancrecarb and Pancrelipase are pancreatic enzymes used for pancreatitis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

EA/TFE necessitate surgery and preclude both normal respiration and swallowing. Aspiration is the primary immediate risk and the priority for treatment. Although the infant will require respiratory therapy to assist with proper tube placement and ventilator maintenance, the only effective treatment is surgery. Aspiration of feeding (aspiration pneumonia) is a major complication that can occur immediately and can be life threatening. Maintaining an open airway and adequate gas exchange are the priority nursing diagnoses for this infant.
