Answer to Question 1

A
Visual jaundice in the neonate less than 24 hours old is descriptive of pathologic jaundice. Jaundice that occurs after 24 hours following births usually is physiologic jaundice. Direct serum bilirubin concentration of 0.4 mg/dL 24 hours after birth and visible jaundice of a 1-week-old breastfeeding infant are descriptive of physiologic jaundice.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Antenatal glucocorticoids given as intramuscular injections to the mother sti-mulates fetal lung maturation.
B Inderal would be given to reduce the effects of ritodrine administration.
C Betamethasone has no effect on uterine contractions.
D Calcium gluconate would be given to reverse the respiratory depressive effects of magnesium sulfate therapy.
