Answer to Question 1

C
Infant mortality in the United States is highest among non-Hispanic African-American mothers. The United States does not have the lowest infant mortality rate in the world. The United States does not have a national insurance program. Infant mortality is related to maternal complications.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rather than putting the child through open heart surgery, an occluding device called an Amplatzer can be placed in the defect if the defect is small enough. This device can be placed during cardiac catheterization.
