Answer to Question 1

B
Respiratory factors associated with PPHN include MAS and RDS. Congenital heart disease is a cardiovascular factor associated with PPHN. Hypoxia is a fetal factor associated with PPHN. See Box 31-2 for the complete list.

Answer to Question 2

A
There is a vaccination against Haemophilus influenza type B that can prevent a child from developing epiglottitis. Although there is a vaccination against diphtheria, this infection does not cause epiglottitis.
