Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5

Rationale: Each of the seven warning signs of cancer begins with a letter from the word CAUTION. Areas of alopecia occur following cancer chemotherapy. Absence of menses is not one of the signs.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: The neonate with RDS may present with clinical signs of cyanosis; tachypnea or ap-nea; nasal flaring; chest wall retractions; or audible expiratory grunts. Acrocyanosis is the bluish discoloration of the hands and feet and is not uncommon in the first few hours of life. The op-tions hypotension and bradycardia, acrocyanosis and grunting, and the presence of a barrel chest, with acrocyanosis do not indicate clinical signs of respiratory distress syndrome.
