Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Surfactant is administered via the ET tube directly into the infant's trachea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is recommended that infants younger than 37 weeks of gestation have a period of observation in an appropriate car seat to monitor for possible apnea and bradycardia. The trial is not done to check the size of the car seat or to determine if blanket rolls will be needed. The infant was born at 36 weeks of gestation, so it is recommended to perform a car sear trial.
