Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The MSAFP test measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the mother’s body.
AFP is a protein produced by the baby during pregnancy.
Too much AFP in the mother’s body may indicate that the baby is at risk of a neural tube defect, like spina bifida.
Choice A is incorrect because this test does not screen for gestational diabetes.
Choice B is incorrect because this test does not screen for fetal maturity.
Choice D is incorrect because this test does not screen for ABO incompatibility.

A. Skeletal traction. B. Muscle traction. C. Joint traction. D. Skin traction.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Skeletal traction is a type of traction that uses pins, wires, or tongs to apply a pulling force directly to the bone.
This can help align and stabilize a fracture while it heals.

Choice B is not the best answer because muscle traction is not a type of traction.
Choice C is not the best answer because joint traction is not a type of traction.
Choice D is not the best answer because skin traction uses adhesive strips or elastic bandages to apply a pulling force to the skin, rather than directly to the bone.
