Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
A steadily increasing respiratory rate, grunting, and nasal flaring are often the first signs of obstruction or respiratory compromise in newborns. If these are present, undress the baby's chest and look for intercostal retractions, which reflect the degree of difficulty the newborn is having in drawing in air. Oxygen saturation of 96 is within normal limits and does not indicate respiratory distress.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Although rubella, hepatitis B, and parvovirus B19 can affect pregnant women and their fetuses, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital and perinatal viral infection in the world. CMV is the leading cause of congenital infection, with morbidity and mortality at birth and sequelae. Each year approximately 17 of pregnant women acquire a primary CMV infection. Of these, about 3040 transmits infection to their fetuses.
