Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The infant who is fed early will be less likely to retain meconium and resorb bilirubin from the intestines back into the circulation. Cephalohematomas will release bilirubin into the system as the red blood cells die off. Bruising will release more bilirubin into the system. Brown fat is normally used to produce heat in the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With the increase in the blood flow to the left atrium from the lungs, the pressure is increased, and the foramen ovale is functionally closed. The hepatic blood flow changes, but that is not the reason for the closure of the foramen ovale. The pressure in the right atrium decreases at birth. It is higher during fetal life. Blood flow increases to the left ventricle after birth.
