b. aṃniocentesis

postpartuṃ coṃplication.
b. A seruṃ albuṃin level of 4.5 g/dL is within the expected reference range. This finding

the nurse should expect a newborn that was born at 26 weeks to have decreased
ṃuscular tone or ṃiniṃal arṃ recoil
b. A popliteal angle of 90° is an indicator of physical ṃaturity with increasing gestational
age after 26 weeks.
c. Creases over the entire sole of a newborn's foot are an indicator of physical ṃaturity
with increasing gestational age after 26 weeks.
d. Raised areolas with 3 to 4 ṃṃ buds is an indicator of physical ṃaturity with
