Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Bruising will release more bilirubin into the system.
B Cephalhematomas will release bilirubin into the system as the red blood cells die
off.
C Brown fat is normally used to produce heat in the newborn.
D The infant who is fed early will be less likely to retain meconium and reabsorb
bilirubin from the intestines back into the circulation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A When a newborn is suspected of having TEF, the most desirable position is
supine with the head elevated on an incline plane of at least 30 degrees. It is
imperative that any source of aspiration be removed at once; oral feedings are
withheld.
B Feedings should not be given to infants suspected of having TEF.
C Feedings should not be given to infants suspected of having TEF.
D The oral pharynx should be kept clear of secretion by oral suctioning. This is to
avoid cyanosis that is usually the result of laryngospasm caused by overflow of
saliva into the larynx.
