Review Question - QID 212806

A 26-year-old woman at 30 weeks 2 days of gestational age is brought into the emergency room following a seizure episode. Her medical records demonstrate poorly controlled gestational hypertension. Following administration of magnesium, she is taken to the operating room for emergency cesarean section. Her newborn daughter’s APGAR scores are 7 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. The newborn is subsequently taken to the NICU for further management and monitoring. Ten days following birth, the baby begins to refuse formula feedings and starts having several episodes of bloody diarrhea despite normal stool patterns previously. Her temperature is 102.2°F (39°C), blood pressure is 84/53 mmHg, pulse is 210/min, respirations are 53/min, and oxygen saturation is 96% on room air. A physical examination demonstrates a baby in mild respiratory distress and moderate abdominal distention. What do you expect to find in this patient?
