The laboratory results are: Sodium, 135 mEq/L Potassium, 4 mEq/L Chloride, 105 mEq/L Carbon dioxide, 18 mEq/L Calcium (total), 6.5 mg/dL Phosphorus, 5.5 mg/dL Magnesium, 1.6 mg/dL Serum glucose, 30 mg/dL

8 Which of these babies was born to a diabetic mother?

9 LGA – Fetal hyperinsulinemia Increased maternal nutrients IUGR – Maternal microvascular disease – Placental Insufficiency Decreased fetal nutrients Both!
