Answer to Question 1

C
With the cyanotic defect, the shunting of blood is right to left, so there is little if any improvement in the oxygenation of the blood with the administration of oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

D
Miliaria (heat rash) develops in infants who are too warmly dressed.
Lotion and ointments should be avoided.
Wet clothing is not the cause of miliaria.
Oils and ointments should be avoided.
