Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Typically, breast-feeding is initiated early as soon as possible after birth to promote bonding. The woman may need to use alternate positioning techniques to reduce incisional discomfort. Splinting with pillows helps to reduce the discomfort associated with coughing. Early ambulation is encouraged to prevent respiratory and cardiovascular problems and promote peristalsis. An indwelling urinary catheter is typically inserted to drain the bladder. It usually remains in place for approximately 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
: Esophageal atresia must be ruled out in any infant born to a woman with hydramnios or excessive amniotic fluid. Normally, a fetus swallows amniotic fluid during intrauterine life. With esophageal atresia, the fetus cannot swallow so the amount of amniotic fluid grows abnormally large, leading to hydramnios. Oligohydramnios, a difficult second stage of labor, or bleeding at 32 weeks of pregnancy does not indicate that esophageal atresia was developing during fetal development.
