Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Male gender is more commonly associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Preterm birth of less than 32 weeks' gestation, sepsis, white race, excessive fluid intake during the first few days of life, severe RDS with mechanical ventilation for more than 1 week, and patent ductus arteriosus are all risk factors associated with chronic lung disease in the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Parents should plan after-school snacks for the child that does not require cooking to prevent burns. Lighting candles could be a fire hazard if they are left unattended. Wearing the house key around the neck could indicate that the child will be home alone. Telling people at school about being home alone could encourage a break in or other action against the child.
