Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Atelectasis in newborn respiratory distress is due to lack of surfactant, not pulmonary edema. Atelectasis in newborn respiratory distress is not due to either an airway obstruction or pulmo-nary fibrosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The most common cause of croup is viral, not bacterial. Croup is not caused by acute hyperventi-lation or an allergic response.

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.
