Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, F
The new graduate would be correct in responding hypotension, pulmonary edema, cardiac arrest, and respiratory depression or arrest. Hepatitis and renal failure are complications related to Indocin, not magnesium sulfate.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Lip abnormalities and eye abnormalities are not related to VATERL. The acronym VATERL stands for the following:
V = vertebral abnormalities
A = anal abnormalities (imperforate anus)
T = tracheal abnormalities
E = esophageal abnormalities (tracheoesophageal fistulas)
R = renal or radial abnormalities
L = limb abnormalities
