B. Respirations
C. Temperature
D. Verbal responsiveness
Answer B is correct. Barbiturate overdose results in central nervous system depression, which leads to respiratory failure.

The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Prolactin
B. Human chorionic gonadotropin
C. Lecithin-sphingomyelin
D. Estriol
HCG levels elevate rapidly and can be detected as early as two days after the missed period. Answer A is incorrect because prolactin is elevated with a prolactinoma, a type of pituitary tumor.
