Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
GERD is common in infants and is not always treated. Prevention includes maintaining an upright position when feeding and feeding the baby slowly. Medications are not always used, but when given, they consist of proton-pump inhibitor or medication to increase gastric motility. Treatment does not include a multi-drug regimen. Formula type is not related. GERD is an upper gastrointestinal disorder, so surgical correction of the bowel is not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Risk factors for long-bone fractures include breech presentation, multiples, prematurity, and fetal osteoporosis. The premature baby has some risk, but not as much as multiple births with one breech presentation.
