Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Signs of newborn infection include poor feeding, lethargy, and periods of apnea. Infection does not always result in a fever in a neonate. Jaundice is related to hyperbilirubinemia, and excessive mucus is an early sign of possible esophageal atresia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Suction the mouth first to prevent inhalation and aspiration of mucus during a gasp reflex, which is stimulated by nasal suctioning.
