Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
After birth, maternal glucose is no longer available to the newborn. However, the newborn's pancreas continues to produce an increased amount of insulin, resulting in hypoglycemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Choking would indicate possible esophageal atresia (failure of the esophagus to connect with the stomach). Typical symptoms include excessive mucus (drooling), gagging, choking on feedings, regurgitation of feeding, and abdominal distention after birth. Projectile vomiting is associated with pyloric stenosis. Nasal flaring and substernal retractions are signs of respiratory distress.
