Answer to Question 1

A, D, E, F
Precipitate labor refers to a labor pattern that progresses rapidly and ends with delivery less than 3 hours after the onset of uterine activity. Maternal and fetal contributory factors for precipitate labor include maternal multiparous status, small fetus, relaxed pelvis and vaginal musculature, and a history of rapid labors with previous deliveries. Maternal and fetal risks include a delivery out of aseptic condition, maternal soft tissue injuries, and fetal injuries from
rapid expulsion at delivery.

Rationale:
1. The lumbar puncture is done to obtain cerebral spinal fluid. An elevated white blood cell count is seen with bacterial meningitis.
2. In bacterial meningitis, the red blood cell count is not elevated.
3. In bacterial meningitis, the glucose is decreased.
4. An elevated white blood cell count is seen with bacterial meningitis.
