Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Prolonged diarrhea is more dangerous in children because they have much smaller fluid reserves than adults. The danger is not due to lower adipose reserves or microbial resistance. Children have higher metabolic rates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Physiologic jaundice (newborn jaundice or neonatal bilirubinemia) is a frequently encountered problem in otherwise healthy newborns caused by lack of maturity in bilirubin uptake and conju-gation. Impaired excretion of bilirubin does not lead to biliary hypertrophy, hepatitis A, or cirrho-sis.
