Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The current recommendation for betamethasone for threatened preterm birth is two doses of 12 mg 24 hours apart; 2:30 PM on March 12, 8:30 PM on March 12, and 2:30 PM on March 13 do not fall within this recommendation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Terbutaline (Brethine) stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic system. This action results primarily in bronchodilation, inhibition of uterine muscle activity, increased pulse rate, and widening of pulse pressure. An FHR of 134 bpm and fasting blood glucose level of 100 mg/dL are normal findings, and diarrhea is not a side effect associated with this medication.
