Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Diagnostic tests show that marijuana may be detected in urine for up to 3 to 30 days. Cocaine may be detected in urine for up to 2 to 3 days or in hair for up to months to years.

Answer to Question 2

D
Respiratory distress syndrome is another respiratory illness that occurs because the infant's lungs are deficient in surfactant, which reduces the surface tension of the air spaces. Clinical signs include tachypnea (70 to 120), retractions, grunting, crackles, pallor, cyanosis, slow capillary refill, hypothermia, peripheral edema, flaccid muscle tone, GI shutdown, jaundice, and acidosis. Administration of surfactant through the endotracheal tube and continuous positive airway pressure are used to treat this syndrome.
