Answer to Question 1

D
The water temperature needs to range between 27 F and 70 F to increase the chance of surviving a near drowning.

Answer to Question 2

A
A high Apgar score indicates that the infant is adapting well to being born. A low Apgar score indicates the infant is having difficulty without being specific about the cause. An apneic newborn with obvious signs of meconium would give a strong indication of meconium aspiration.
