Answer to Question 1

A
Ritodrine can cause hyperglycemia, so it is inappropriate to use with a diabetic client.

Answer to Question 2

A
The normal biophysical score ranges from 8 to 10 points if the amniotic fluid volume is adequate. A normal score allows conservative treatment of high-risk patients. Delivery can be delayed if fetal well-being is indicated. Scores less than 4 would be investigated, and delivery could be initiated sooner than planned. The results of the biophysical profile are usually available immediately after the procedure is performed.

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.
