Awemen admitted at 24 weeks gestation with rupture of membranes maternal fever what is likely to be

If a woman at 24 weeks gestation period has had a rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac) along with maternal fever, it is likely that she might have premature labor.

There is a high chance for infection since the open membranes harbor bacteria which can enter the womb. Also, the loss of water (amniotic fluid) can affect the growth of the lungs and the body formation of the fetus.

The first step after reaching the hospital will be to check if there is a PROM (premature rupture of membranes) and if the amniotic fluid is leaking from the vagina. For this, many tests can be performed like the Sterile speculum exam, Nitrazine test, Pooling test etc. An Ultrasound is also performed, along with other Immune-chromatological tests.

If the PROM is positive, it is likely that the baby, weighing almost 750 gms, will be delivered within the next 24 hours.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.

Many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. thorne's view.  thorne strongly believes that what many calls "homo erectus"  was in fact  homo sapiens,  and that they migrated out of africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout europe and asia. that's way different  from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species.
