Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This baby has a dirty appearance because he or she was born in meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and the respiratory manifestations signal meconium aspiration syndrome. To improve oxygenation, treatment often involves CPAP. Less invasive means of providing oxygen (the hood) are usually not adequate. Chest physiotherapy is usually done every 3 to 4 hours. Sleeping and feeding in an upright position is helpful for GERD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) manifest by lack of movement of an arm, elbow, wrist, or hand. The arm is initially rested, then after 5 to 10 days, passive range of motion (ROM) is started. Parents are taught to do the passive ROM several times a day. This baby is too young to reach for toys and active movement is not encouraged. The baby does not need a sling. Microsurgical repair is indicated if repair is needed, but day 7 would be too early.
