Answer to Question 1

F
The AAP states that breastfeeding should not be precluded for most high-risk neonates and
infants, including those with congenital heart disease. The benefits of breastfeeding these
infants includes; higher and more stable oxygen saturation measurements, improved
weight gain, and shorter hospital stays.

D
Feedback
A Acyclovir is used to treat varicella pneumonia.
B The baby is already born and has received the immunities. If the mother never
had chickenpox, she cannot transmit the immunities to the baby.
C Varicella infection occurring in a newborn may be life threatening.
D Varicella (chickenpox) is highly contagious. Although the baby inherits
immunity from the mother, it would not be safe to expose either the mother or
the baby.
