Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CVS can increase the likelihood of Rh sensitization if a woman is Rh-negative. There is no indication for magnesium sulfate because it is used to stop preterm labor. There is no indication for administration of a prostaglandin suppository. Betamethasone is given to pregnant women in preterm labor to improve fetal lung maturity.
