Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because TTN and neonatal pneumonia have similar clinical signs, intravenous administration of antibiotics should be considered for at least 3 days after appropriate culture samples are obtained. The need for mechanical ventilation is rare and probably indicates a complication. Clearing of the lungs evident on both a chest radiograph and with clinical improvement usually occurs within 24 to 48 hr. A small number of infants with TTN eventually have persistent pulmonary hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Because the retention of lung fluid may be gravity dependent, frequent changes in the infant's position may help to speed lung fluid clearance.
