Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Propping a bottle leads to a greater risk for spitting up, possibly leading to aspiration or choking, as well as for the development of otitis media.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E, G
These are signs of potential problems that should be reported to the health care provider. Apneic episodes of less than 20 seconds are normal in the newborn. No wet diapers in 12 hours; one green, watery stool; and one episode of vomiting may not necessitate a call to the health care provider, but the newborn should be monitored for further episodes.
