Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
An Apgar score between 7 and 10 indicates that the infant scored as high as 70 to 90 of all infants at 1 and 5 minutes after birth and is adjusting well to extrauterine life. A score of 4 to 6 indicates a guarded condition, and the newborn may need clearing of the airway and supplementary oxygen. A score <4 system.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
In both female and male infants, the breasts may be engorged because of the influence of maternal hormones during pregnancy. At times, the breasts of newborn babies secrete a thin, watery fluid termed witch's milk. As soon as the hormones are cleared from the infant's system in about a week, the engorgement and any fluid that is present will subside. The discharge from the baby's breasts is not caused by exposure to cold air. The baby does not need chromosomal studies nor is this a sign that the baby has a pituitary tumor.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
