Answer to Question 1

B
The Parkland Formula recommends 4 mL/kg of body weight for each percent of body surface area burned to be infused over a 24-hour period.

Answer to Question 2

RDS is found in preterm neonates with insufficient surfactant. Surfactant is produced by the alveolar type II cells in the lungs of a full-term (or near-term) neonate.
