Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The presence of polycythemia as indicated by this lab result could result in the infant being at risk to develop hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, and jaundice. Possible infection would be unrelated to this diagnostic value.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Meconium stools are followed by transitional stools, a combination of meconium and milk stools. They are greenish brown and of a looser consistency than meconium. Stools that are tarlike are meconium stools. Infants fed with breast milk are seedy, with a sweet-sour smell; the meconium has the consistency of mustard.
