Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The best stage for initiating breastfeeding is the first period of reactivity, which is the first period of active alert wakefulness that the infant displays immediately after birth. This first period of reactivity is an opportune time for the mother to initiate breastfeeding, if she wishes to do so.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Elevations in IgM can occur as a result of exposure to an intrauterine infection or one of the TORCH infections.
