31. A female newborn delivered at 30 weeks' gestation immediately has signs of respiratory distress including tachypnea, nasal faring, grunting, intercostal and subsphoid retractions, and cyanosis. On auscultation, breath sounds are decreased. A chest x-ray shows low lung volume and a diffuse reticulogranular appearance with air bronchograms suggesting aiveder collapse. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's respiratory disorder? A) Decreased alveolar surface tension B) Decreased compliance of the chest wall OC) Increased alveolar surface tension D) Increased compliance of the chest wall Gross OE) Pneumothorax
