Mоnicа Hunting is аn 85-yeаr-оld retired nurse with a 30-year histоry of diabetes mellitus. Recently, her diabetes has been poorly controlled requiring her to be prescribed insulin. Ms. Hunting takes corticosteroid medications daily (for the past 7-years) for her multiple sclerosis. Her daily routine is drinking a pint of vodka while watching her soap operas on television. She says the vodka relieves the spasticity in her extremities and helps her to cope. Today, after watching television, Ms. Hunting drove to the store and was involved in a motor vehicle crash (MCC). Her head struck the windshield, and she was found unconscious at the scene of the accident. She is now in the emergency department (ED). Her unconsciousness lasted ~2 hours and she now confused and complains of head pain and fatigue. Her pupils are equal, round, reactive light, accommodation (PERRLA). Ms. Hunting's daughter arrived to the ED and notes changes in her mother’s mood and affect. On physical exam it is noted Ms. Hunting has multiple scalp abrasions and contusions along with some facial lacerations. Vital signs: 37.8C, 112, 28, and 98/64 Ms. Hunting’s serum potassium value may be caused by which one of the following:

A 32-yeаr-оld G3P2 wоmаn аt 38 weeks gestatiоn is being induced for diet-controlled gestational diabetes. The fetus has an estimated weight of 3800 grams on the last growth ultrasound performed at 36 weeks. The induction is started with oxytocin, and a Foley catheter is inserted into her cervix. Her vital signs remain stable during her induction. The foley catheter is removed when the patient is 4 cm dilated, 60% effaced, and -3 station. The patient is comfortable with her contractions and does not request pain medications. Why should an amniotomy be delayed in this scenario?
