Answer to Question 1

A
The initial chest radiograph of an infant with TTN will appear normal. Changes usually occur on the chest radiograph between 4 and 6 hours after birth.

Answer to Question 2

B
Age is not directly linked to the development of a DVT. The other three listed options make up Virchow's triad of the primary factors that lead to a DVT.
