Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most clinicians recommend raising the FiO2 by 10 to 15 for at least 1 min before suctioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
At approximately 34 to 35 weeks' gestation, this ratio abruptly increases to greater than 2:1. An L:S ratio greater than 2:1 indicates stable surfactant production and mature lungs.
