Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Progressive vascular leakage and areas of atelectasis and emphysema develop in the lungs, and progressive pulmonary damage occurs. The chest radiograph for severe disease will show areas of atelectasis, emphysema, and fibrosis diffusely intermixed throughout the lung (Figure 34-5). Ar-terial blood gas measurements reveal varying degrees of hypoxemia and hypercapnia secondary to airway obstruction, air trapping, pulmonary fibrosis, and atelectasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In the presence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid, once delivery is complete and if the infant is depressed and requires intubation for resuscitation, an endotracheal (ET) tube should be inserted immediately, and suction should be applied directly to the ET tube.
