Answer to Question 1

C
It is very likely that a 25-weeks' gestation age infant will develop RDS. In this situation, exogenous surfactant should be given as soon as possible to prevent pulmonary complications. Airway suctioning will be performed to remove airway fluids but will not prevent RDS. Giving exogenous surfactant should help to minimize the need for CPAP or mechanical ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Linezolid is the recommended treatment for a lung abscess caused by MRSA.
