Question

question 11
which is a sign of fetal distress, particularly hypoxia?
clear amniotic fluid
green or yellowish amniotic fluid
quickenings
a waxy substance coating the skin of the newborn

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When a fetus experiences hypoxia (oxygen deprivation), it may pass meconium (its first stool) into the amniotic fluid. This causes the amniotic fluid to turn green or yellowish. Clear amniotic fluid is a normal finding. Quick - enings are normal fetal movements. A waxy substance (vernix caseosa) coating the newborn's skin is a normal protective layer.

Answer:

Green or yellowish amniotic fluid
