Answer to Question 1

B
Mixing of the blood in the right side of the heart will cause excessive blood flow to the lungs and pulmonary congestion.

Answer to Question 2

B
Infant crying often indicates an unmet need. Parents should be cautioned about ignoring cry-ing. Infants whose parents intervene appropriately for crying are less likely to cry excessively as they grow older.
A house temperature of 72 F is appropriate for a newborn.
Solid foods should be started no earlier than 5 months.
The appropriate position for a baby is the back or on the side.
