Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Infants with CHF fatigue easily. Feeding can be given more frequently in smaller amounts through a soft, large-holed nipple. Formulas with a denser caloric content can be offered. The child may be encouraged to nurse if he or she is held.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Echocardiography is a noninvasive procedure that localizes murmurs and determines if theheart is structurally normal.
