Answer to Question 1

C
A common cold is not a sufficient reason to delay immunization.

Answer to Question 2

1
Feedback
1. The prostaglandin will allow the Patent Ductus Arteriosis to have patency.
2. The patent foramen ovale is already open when a Tetrology of Fallot is present.
3. Blood flow to the heart and lungs rather than the extremities is the priority.
4. Because of the holes in the heart, the resistance is already low.
