Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The infant swallows air along with milk. Burping eliminates air from the stomach, thereby reducing the risk of regurgitation and aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Human T-lymphocyte virus 1 and 2 (HTLV 1 and 2) are retroviruses that can be transmitted to the infant through breast milk; therefore, breastfeeding is contraindicated for mothers who test positive for the virus. Inverted nipples and maternal age are not contraindications, and breastfeeding is also not contraindicated for an infant with a respiratory infection.
