A newborn with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is most at risk for developing:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: MAS can lead to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), as meconium aspiration causes airway obstruction, inflammation, and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, impairing oxygenation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Preterm infants have underdeveloped lungs, and mechanical ventilation or high oxygen pressure can lead to alveolar rupture, causing air to accumulate in the pleural space (pneumothorax), leading to respiratory distress.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: NSAIDs are common causes of fixed drug eruptions, which present as recurring skin lesions at the same site.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Shellfish allergies often develop later in life, unlike milk and egg allergies, which usually appear in infancy.
