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.

Answer to Question 2

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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
