1. Which hormone plays a key role in maintaining uterine
quiescence during pregnancy?
- A. Estrogen
- B. Oxytocin
- C. Progesterone
- D. Prolactin
Correct ANS: C. Progesterone
Rationale: Progesterone inhibits uterine contractions,
ensuring the pregnancy is maintained until term.

,2. What is the primary pharmacological action of magnesium
sulfate when used for preeclampsia?
- A. Reduces maternal heart rate
- B. Prevents seizures
- C. Increases uterine contractions
- D. Promotes fetal lung maturity
Correct ANS: B. Prevents seizures
Rationale: Magnesium sulfate acts as a central nervous
system depressant to prevent eclamptic seizures.
3. Which pathophysiological process is most associated with
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm neonates?
- A. Alveolar overdistension
- B. Surfactant deficiency
- C. Hypercapnia
- D. Bronchospasms
Correct ANS: B. Surfactant deficiency
Rationale: RDS occurs due to insufficient surfactant, leading
to alveolar collapse and impaired gas exchange.
4. In quality improvement initiatives, which method is used to
identify the sequence of events leading to a problem?
©2025
, - A. Process mapping
- B. PDSA cycle
- C. Pareto chart
- D. Root cause analysis (RCA)
Correct ANS: A. Process mapping
Rationale: Process mapping visually represents workflows,
making it easier to identify inefficiencies or errors.

5. __________ is a life-threatening condition in which a
postpartum patient experiences massive bleeding exceeding 1,000
mL after delivery.
Correct ANS: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)
Rationale: PPH is a critical obstetric emergency that requires
prompt intervention to prevent maternal mortality.
6. The pharmacological agent __________ is commonly
administered to neonates to prevent vitamin K deficiency
