Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When esophageal atresia is accompanied by a tracheal fistula, it is referred to as a tracheoesophageal fistula. The situation is life threatening because the esophagus channels food and mucus directly into the lungs. This condition must be corrected immediately, or the child will suffocate. The other conditions are corrected by surgery, but they are not emergency surgeries.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should use the term eupnea to describe the condition of the client. Normal respiratory rate ranges from 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Orthopnea refers to difficulty in breathing when lying down. Dyspnea involves labored or difficult breathing. Apnea is the term used to denote cessation of breathing.
