Which of these drugs is used to promote fetal lung maturation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Dexamethasone is used to promote fetal lung maturation. This may be necessary in cases of women who need to deliver prematurely. A tocolytic drug, such as nifedipine, may be used to suppress labor whilst dexamethasone works to accelerate fetal lung development.
