Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The cause of TTN is unclear, but it is most likely related to delayed clearance of fetal lung liquid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Surfactant replacement therapy also is used as both prophylactic and rescue treatment (of infants who already have RDS).

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
