Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The infant who is fed early will be less likely to retain meconium and resorb bilirubin from the intestines back into the circulation. Cephalohematomas will release bilirubin into the system as the red blood cells die off. Bruising will release more bilirubin into the system. Brown fat is normally used to produce heat in the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With the increase in the blood flow to the left atrium from the lungs, the pressure is increased, and the foramen ovale is functionally closed. The hepatic blood flow changes, but that is not the reason for the closure of the foramen ovale. The pressure in the right atrium decreases at birth. It is higher during fetal life. Blood flow increases to the left ventricle after birth.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
