Answer to Question 1

A
Among the conditions that may result with a flail chest are the development of a pneumothorax and the development of a secondary pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Meconium in the airways will be seen on the chest radiograph as irregular densities throughout the lungs. An infant with MAS is more likely to have depressed diaphragms due to air trapping. There should not be any mediastinal shift with MAS. Air bronchograms are associated with diffuse atelectasis, not MAS.
