Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Lung surfactants used therapeutically can cause many adverse effects including pneumothorax (collapsed lung), hypotension, pulmonary leak, hyperbilirubinemia, and sepsis. Other adverse effects may occur in the infant related to the degree of immaturity of the child's system and may not be related to the drug therapy. Options A, B, and C are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Activation of the inflammatory response produces a characteristic clinical picture. Heat occurs because of the increased blood flow to the area. Swelling occurs because of the fluid that leaks into the tissues as a result of the change in capillary permeability. Redness is related to the increase in blood flow caused by the vasodilation. Pain comes from the activation of pain fibers by histamine and the kinin system.
