Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Physical examination may yield the following findings: scaphoid abdomen (because the ab-dominal contents are in the thorax), decreased breath sounds, displaced heart sounds (because the heart is pushed away from the hernia), and severe cyanosis (from lung hypoplasia and pul-monary hypertension).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The diagnosis is established with chest radiography.
