Tracy, a G1 TPAL 0000 woman, is in labor at 30 weeks gestation. She is very concerned about the health of her baby and her impending preterm birth.
 
  Tracy asks the perinatal nurse about her baby's possibilities for survival and what physiological development has occurred by this time. The nurse's best response is:
  A) It is best to wait for the obstetrician to come and talk with you so that he/she can provide you with exact numbers regarding your baby's survival rate.
  B) At 30 weeks, your baby's lungs are still developing and do not have the ability to sustain air exchange.
  C) At 30 weeks of age, your baby will be small and will need to be in the hospital for a long time but will survive.
  D) At 30 weeks, your baby has completed a great deal of growth and development. For example, the reflex in the eye that responds to light should be present by now.
