Answer to Question 1

D
Because of the stiff lungs associated with RDS, the neonate will typically have a respiratory rate of >60/min and hard and deep breaths.

Answer to Question 2

D
Major pathologic or structural changes seen in the lungs with pulmonary edema include atelectasis, high surface tension of alveolar fluids, and alveolar flooding. Bronchospasm is not associated with pulmonary edema.
