Answer to Question 1

Meconium ileus is associated with cystic fibrosis. Meconium ileus is not associated with pyloric stenosis, esophageal atresias, or esophagitis.

Answer to Question 2

The most serious complication of Hirschsprung disease in the neonatal period is enterocolitis re-lated to fecal impaction. Enterocolitis is not related to pancreatic insufficiency or hyperactive peristalsis but to slowed peristalsis or ileal atresia.
