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.
