Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Prenatal radiographs do not provide a definitive diagnosis.
B The defect is not externally visible. Bronchoscopy and endoscopy can be used to
identify this defect.
C Atresia is suspected when a nasogastric tube fails to pass 10 to 11 cm beyond the
gum line. Abdominal radiographs will confirm the diagnosis.
D Infants with esophageal atresia may have been born prematurely and with a low
birth weight, but neither is suggestive of the presence of an esophageal atresia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Meconium stool is the first stool of the newborn.
B Meconium stool is made up of matter in the intestines during intrauterine life.
C Meconium stool is usually passed in the first 12 hours of life and 99 of
newborns have their first stool within 48 hours. If meconium is not passed by 48
hours, obstruction is suspected.
D Meconium is dark in color and sticky.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
