Answer to Question 1

A
Among the conditions that may result with a flail chest are the development of a pneumothorax and the development of a secondary pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Meconium in the airways will be seen on the chest radiograph as irregular densities throughout the lungs. An infant with MAS is more likely to have depressed diaphragms due to air trapping. There should not be any mediastinal shift with MAS. Air bronchograms are associated with diffuse atelectasis, not MAS.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
