A precipitous labor and delivery is MOST common in women who: Select one: a. are younger than 30 years of age. b. have gestational diabetes. c. are pregnant for the first time. d. have delivered a baby before.

The correct answer is D. Have delivered a baby before

Explanation:

Precipitous labor and delivery occur when the fetus is born just after a few hours of labor (2-3 hours). This situation has many risks for both the baby and the mother, such as excessive bleeding in the mother, and aspiration of amniotic fluid in the baby.

Besides this, one of the main risk factors is to have delivered one or many babies before because this causes the muscles involved in delivery are more relaxed, which can make all the process faster. Thus, precipitous labor and delivery are most common in women who have delivered a baby before.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
