Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Although offering small frequent feedings is appropriate if the infant tolerates them, feeding every hour is not necessary. During the acute phase, continuous or intermittent gavage feedings may be needed to help the infant maintain or gain weight. Due to the increased metabolic demands, the infant may require as much as 150 calories/kg/day.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A grade III murmur is loud without a thrill. Grade II is soft and easily heard. Grade IV is loud with a precordial thrill. Grade V is characterized as loud, audible with a stethoscope.
