Answer to Question 2

D
This is the most common manifestation seen in the preterm infant because of inadequate surfactant. Although anemia is common in the preterm neonate, it is not the most common manifestation. Brachial palsy is associated more often with macrosomia. Hypoglycemia is common in the preterm neonate, but it is not the most common manifestation.
