Answer to Question 1

ANS: b
Feedback
a. Maternal asthma does not place the fetus at risk for hyperglycemia.
b. Compromised pulmonary function can lead to decompensation and hypoxia that decrease oxygen flow to the fetus and can cause intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
c. Asthma does not directly affect glycemic control.
d. A fetus experiencing hypoxia would be small for gestational age, not large for gestational age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: d
Feedback
a. Monitoring contractions does not indicate magnesium toxicity.
b. Magnesium sulfate will decrease fetal variability and not provide an accurate assessment of magnesium toxicity.
c. Urinary output does not correlate to decreased deep tendon reflexes.
d. Correct. Respiratory effort and deep tendon reflexes (DTRs) are involuntary, and a decrease in DTRs could indicate the risk of magnesium sulfate toxicity and the risk for decreased respiratory effort.
