Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Surfactant production can be increased by administering corticosteroids to the mother before delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When the preterm infant is gavage fed, the contents of the stomach should be aspirated before the feeding is started. Aspiration of the stomach contents ensures tube placement and also allows the nurse to assess the amount of feeding in the stomach.
