Answer to Question 1

A
Glottic spasms will prevent water from entering the trachea and lungs.

When a fetus is experiencing hypoxemia, he or she will make very deep, gasping inspiratory movements. As a result, the fetus will inhale amniotic fluid or meconium. Kussmaul respirations are related to diabetic ketoacidosis.
