Answer to Question 1

C
Usually TTN will begin to resolve within 48 to 72 hours after birth as the pulmonary fluid is absorbed by the lymphatic system and pulmonary capillaries.

Answer to Question 2

D
Sixty minutes appears to be the limit that a near-drowning victim can remain submerged in cold water and survive.
