When the L/S ratio reaches 2:1. the lungs are considered to be mature. The infant will most likely be small for gestational age and will not be at risk for birth trauma. so answer D is incorrect. The L/S ratio does not indicate congenital anomalies. as stated in answer A. and the infant is not at risk for intrauterine growth retardation. making answer B incorrect.
