I got a question today and I think the answer they are showing as the right is actually wrong but maybe someone can shed some light on it.
The question is about a patient who has PPROM at 28 wks. Everything else is normal. AFI is 5. Steroids and antibiotics are given....next step?
A) give steroids again in 24 hrs
B) Oyxtocin
C)Ext cephalic version
D) Amnio
E) Immdt c section
I picked E because the fetus was in breech position. Correct- A....I dont understand why. I even looked it up on Dynamed...just says single dose of steroids. Why is another needed?
Thanks for input guys.
