Pregnancy issue?

1 ⤊

Bethann, a street person, is pregnant. She has had no prenatal care and her diet consists of what she is able to salvage from trash cans. What could you surmise about the PTH levels in her blood?

What is PTH? I would hope that she would seek help from a local shelter.

It would probably be high because PTH is released in response to low calcium levels in the blood.

If PTH is "parathormone", which is high during calcium depletion, I'd say PTH is high during malnourishment.
