Answer to Question 1

D
Head bobbing is a sign of respiratory distress in an infant. When in respiratory distress, the infant often uses the scalene and sternocleidomastoid accessory muscles of inspiration to assist in ventilation. When these muscles contract, the infant's head moves (bobs) back and forth because the neck extensor muscles are not strong enough to stabilize the head.

Answer to Question 2

A
Chronic cough with production of large quantities of foul-smelling sputum is a hallmark of bronchiectasis.
