Answer to Question 1

C
Atresia is suspected when a nasogastric tube fails to pass 10 to 11 centimeters beyond the gum line. Abdominal radiographs will confirm the diagnosis. Prenatal radiographs do not provide a definitive diagnosis. The defect is not externally visible. Bronchoscopy and endoscopy can be used to identify this defect. Infants with esophageal atresia may have been born prematurely and with a low birth weight, but neither is suggestive of the presence of an esophageal atresia.

Answer to Question 2

C
A maternal history of polyhydramnios is associated with TEF. Advanced maternal age is not a risk factor for TEF. The first term pregnancy is not a risk factor for an infant with TEF. Complicated pregnancy is not a risk factor for TEF.
