A 28-year-old woman has been an insulin-dependent diabetic for 10 years. At 36 weeks' gestation, she has an amniocentesis. A lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio test is performed on the sample of her amniotic fluid.
Since she is a diabetic, the 2:1 ratio obtained indicates that the fetus: 1. May or may not have immature lungs.
2. Has an intrauterine infection.
3. Has a neural tube defect.
4. Is at risk for hyperglycemia.
