Answer to Question 1

C
Atelectasis, excessive airway fluid, and consolidation seen in an RSV patient can cause hypoxemia. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is not associated with RSV.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cor pulmonale is right-sided heart failure. Patients with this problem will have distended neck veins and other findings associated with fluid overload. Often they will have peripheral edema rather than poor skin turgor. Breath sounds may reveal crackles but not wheezes. Chest movement is not affected.
