Answer to Question 1

D
A pulmonary air leak will often occur within the first 24 to 48 hours of life.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although CPAP may be less expensive than mechanical ventilation, that is not why it is used. Mask CPAP is used because it decreases vascular congestion, reduces work of breathing, and improves lung compliance. These things improve oxygenation and may preclude the need for mechanical ventilation.
