Answer to Question 1

B
Infants who are older than 42 weeks' gestation are at greater risk for MAS because they have strong peristalsis and sphincter tone. It does not matter how full the infant's bowel is or that there is amniotic fluid in his or her stomach.

Answer to Question 2

B
Only about 30 of the infants who have MAS will require mechanical ventilation. About 10 to 15 may develop a pneumothorax. MAS has about a 4 mortality rate.
