NSG 3500 Maternal Health Exam 1 Questions With
Complete Solutions
1st stage of labor Correct Answers The contractions are
regular, the membranes have ruptured, the client begins to expel
clear vaginal fluid.
2nd stage of labor Correct Answers The cervix is dilated
completely and ends with birth of the neonate, the Ferguson
reflex is initiated from perineal pressure.
Abruptio Placentae Correct Answers Is the premature
separation of the placenta from the uterine wall after the 20th
week of gestation and before the fetus is delivered. Acute
abdominal pain is present and the abdomen feels hard and
board-like on palpation
Alternatives for infertility Correct Answers Adopting and
surrogacy
Amniotomy Correct Answers artificial rupture of membranes
can be used to induce labor when the condition of the cervix is
favorable (ripe) or to augment labor of the progress begins to
slow.
Ampulla (2nd division of the fallopian tubes) Correct Answers
Is 2/3 the length of the tube and is most often the site of ovum
fertilization.
Android Pelvis Correct Answers Typical found in men. The
inlet is triangular or heart shaped and laterally narrow. The
,subpubic arch is narrow there are more bony prominences,
including the ischial spines which also prominent and narrow.
These characteristics can cause difficulty during fetal descent.
Anthropid Pelvis Correct Answers Resembles a pelvis found in
apes. Is oval shaped at the inlet but in the anterior to posterior,
rather than lateral, plane. Subpubic arch may be slightly
narrowed. Fetal descent through an anthropoid pelvis is more
likely to be in a posterior (facing the woman's front) rather than
(facing the woman back).
Apex of the vagina (vaginal vault or fornix) Correct Answers
The upper recessed area around the cervix. Following
intercourse, sperm pool in the fornix, where they have close
contact with the cervix and its alkaline pH. The vaginal pH is
typically acidic (4.5 to 5.5) during the reproductive years. The
acid environment, though harmful to sperm, helps to protect the
genital tract from pathogens.
Assisted Reproductive technologies- Cryopreservation Correct
Answers Also known as freezing, is used in some instances to
store sperm or ovarian tissue for future use or to freeze excess
embryos that have resulted from an in vitro fertilization
procedure. If no pregnancy results, the frozen embryos can be
processed and replaced in the uterus. This option allows the
couple to attempt another pregnancy without the need for
ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies- Gamete Intrafallopian
Transfer (GIFT) Correct Answers Is a technique that involves
laparoscopy and ovulation induction. Patient must have at least
, one patent fallopian tube. 3 to 5 oocytes are harvested from the
ovary and immediately placed into a catheter along with washed,
motile donor or partner sperm. The sperm and oocytes are
injected into the fimbriated ends if the fallopian tube(s) through
a laparoscope. May not be acceptable in the Roman Catholic
Church
Assisted Reproductive technologies- In Vitro Fertilization
Correct Answers Involves retrieval of the oocytes from the
ovaries, usually via an intra-abdominal approach or a
transvaginal approach under ultrasound guidance. The oocytes
are then combined with partner or donor sperm in a lab. After
fertilization, the normally developing embryos are placed in the
uterus. Success with IVF is dependent on many factors, such as
the woman's age and the indication for the procedure.
Assisted Reproductive technologies- Tubal Embryo Transfer
Correct Answers Involves placement at the embryo stage. The
patient must have at least one patent fallopian tube. Exogenous
progesterone is used to enhance endometrial preparation.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies- Zygote Intrafallopian
transfer (ZIFT) Correct Answers A procedure that evolved
from the GIFT procedure. Following ovulation induction,
retrieved oocytes are fertilized outside the woman's body, and
the subsequent zygotes are placed in the distal fallopian tubes.
At the time of birth how many oocytes is present in the ovary?
Correct Answers 2 to 4 million
