Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Grunting is more indicative of respiratory distress syndrome.
B Grunting is more indicative of respiratory distress syndrome.
C Grunting increases the pressure inside the alveoli to keep them open when
surfactant is insufficient.
D Grunting is more indicative of this syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A The harness must be worn for 23 hours per day and should be removed only
according to the physician's recommendation. Hips that remain unstable become
progressively more deformed as maturity takes place.
B The harness is used to maintain the infant's hips in flexion and external rotation
to allow the hips (femoral head and acetabulum) to mold and grow normally.
C With early diagnosis and treatment, the Pavlik harness is often the only treatment
necessary.
D The length of treatment is determined by radiographic documentation of the
maturity of the hips.
