Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Respiratory status is normal if the movements of the newborn's diaphragm and abdominal muscles are synchronized. The newborn's chest should expand as a whole, and the muscles of the chest wall should not show great effort with breathing. The nares should not flare out with the breath, and the baby should not make grunting noises when breathing.
