Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The post-term infant often will have dry skin that feels like parchment paper, and might be larger in size.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Acute rejection symptoms are most likely to occur within 24 hours of surgery because the body must mount its attack on the new organ, seen as a foreign antigen. Chronic rejection occurs as the body's immune response slowly but progressively attacks the organ, leaving deposits that reduce blood flow to the organ.
