Answer to Question 1

B
If the newborn infant is hypoxemic and has an inadequate inspiratory effort, there is a delay in the clearance of pulmonary fluid. This leads to TTN.

Answer to Question 2

C
Paradoxical chest movement means that the flail area moves in the opposite direction from which it normally would. So, with inspiration, the flail area moves inward, and with exhalation, the flail area moves outward. The tracheal position is not affected by broken ribs.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
