Question

One complication of this condition can be treated with an external cephalic version to correct a transverse lie. People with this condition should not lie flat on their backs to avoid compressing the inferior vena cava. (15[2])It’s not cancer or transplant rejection, (15[1])but people with this condition take a blood test that scans for cell-free DNA. Magnesium sulfate is administered to prevent seizures in hypertensive patients with this condition who are undergoing end organ dysfunction. Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets characterize HELLP syndrome in this condition. To avoid (*) allo·immunization, RhoGAM is administered to Rh– (“r-h-minus”) people with this condition. (10[1])Elevated levels of beta-HCG in serum or urine suggest this condition, which can be complicated by preeclampsia or breech presentation. For 10 points, full-term examples of what condition last a little over nine (10[1])months while a fetus develops? ■END■
