Answer to Question 1

C
IgA crosses breast milk and, in the GI tract, where it is not absorbed, provides passive immunity to microbes. Infants do not receive protection from hypersensitivity reactions through breast milk. Phagocytes are not transmitted through breast milk. Infants are not protected from respiratory microbes via breast milk.

Answer to Question 2

OMG..This is soo helpful. Thank you.

Answer to Question 3

A, C, E
For routine therapy, heart failure is treated with agents that inhibit the RAAS, beta blockers, and diuretics. Aldosterone antagonists and cardiac glycosides are not first-line drugs for HF.
