ALL APGO UWISE - SHANE , Uwise Comprehensive Real Exam Questions And Answers Latest Update A 32-year-old G1P0 woman comes to your office for her first prenatal care visit. She has recently read an article about the rising Cesarean section rate in the United States and asks you about the rate in your hospital. What do you explain as the major cause of higher Cesarean delivery rates? A. The rate of breech presentations has increased B. Less women are having vaginal births after Cesarean C. Obstetricians' reluctance to perform forceps delivery D. Increased rate of fetal macrosomia due to uncontrolled gestational diabetes E. Rate of twins has increased - ANS>B. The rate of vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC) has decreased in recent years due to studies that showed an increased risk of complications, especially uterine rupture. This is one factor that has led to the increased Cesarean section rate. In addition, although the rate of breech presentation is stable, there are significantly fewer obstetricians who are willing to perform vaginal breech deliveries. Many obstetricians do not perform instrumental vaginal deliveries, such as forceps and vacuum extractions, further contributing to the rising rate. Gestational diabetes is a well -known pregnancy complication with clear clinical guidelines. A 23-year-old G1P0 woman at 40 weeks gestation presents to labor and delivery with contractions. At 10:00 am, her cervical exam is 2 centimeters dilated, 70% effaced and the vertex at 0 station. Clinical pelvimetry reveals an adequate pelvis and membranes are intact. The fetus is in a cephalic presentation and EFW is 3500 gms. Contractions are occurring every 3 -4 minutes, based on the external monitor. Her labor slowly progresses and, at 1:00 pm, the patient has spontaneous rupture of membranes. Fetal surveillance remains reassuring. Her cervical exam is 5 centimeters dilated, 100% effaced, and 0 station. At 4:00 pm, the patient's cervical exam is unchanged. Contractions are occurring every 5 -6 minutes. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient? A. Perform a biophysical profile B. Have the patient ambulate C. Consent the patient for a Cesarean section secondary to - ANS>E. A 34 -year-old G2P1 woman at 40 weeks gestation, with a history of one prior vaginal delivery, strongly desires an induction of labor, as she is unable to sleep secondary to severe back pain. Her cervical exam is closed, 20% effaced and -2 station. The cervix is firm and posterior. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient? A. Wait until 42 weeks for induction B. Administer cytotec C. Insert a foley bulb in the cervix D. Perform artificial rupture of membranes E. Perform a Cesarean delivery - ANS>B. The patient is multiparous at term and waiting until she reaches 42 weeks may increase the risk of perinatal mortality. Since she is uncomfortable with back pain, it is reasonable to induce labor. Her cervix is unfavorable; therefore, cytotec administration is appropriate prior to pitocin induction. A foley bulb or artificial rupture of membranes cannot be achieved in a patient with a closed cervix. At this time, there are no indications to perform a Cesarean delivery in this patient. A 22-year-old G1P0 woman at 39 -weeks gestation presents in active labor. Her pregnancy is complicated by diet controlled gestational diabetes. She has a history of uterine fibroids. On examination, she is found to be 4 cm dilated in breech presentation. An ultrasound confirms the breech presentation, amniotic fluid index is 5, and the estimated fetal weight is 3900 g. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the breech presentation in this patient? A. Gestational diabetes B. Uterine fibroids C. Oligohydramnios D. Macrosomia E. Gravidity - ANS>B. Prematurity, multiple gestation, genetic disorders, polyhydramnios, hydrocephaly, anencephaly, placenta previa, uterine anomalies and uterine fibroids are all associated with breech presentation. A 20-year-old G1 woman at 40 weeks gestation presents to labor and delivery complaining of painful contractions every 3 -4 minutes since midnight. Her examination on admission was 2 centimeters dilated, 90% effaced and 0 station. Three hours later, her exam is unchanged. The patient is still having contractions every 3-4 minutes. She is discouraged about her lack of progress. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient? A. Laminaria placement B. Artificial rupture of membranes C. Counseling about latent phase of labor and rest D. Manual cervical dilation E. Cesarean section for arrest of labor - ANS> C. The patient is in the latent phase of labor and has not yet reached the active phase (more than 4 cm). A prolonged latent phase is defined as >20 hours for nulliparas and >14 hours for multiparas, and may be treated with rest or augmentation of labor. Artificial rupture of membranes is not recommended in the latent phase as it places the patient at increased risk of infection. Cervical dilation or laminaria placement are not indicated. A 29-year-old G1P0 woman at 28 weeks gestation who is the wife of basketball player is diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Her mother had a delivery complicated by shoulder dystocia and she is concerned about her own risk. Which of the following is her biggest risk factor for shoulder dystocia? A. Family history B. Tall husband C. Age D. Gestational diabetes E. Parity - ANS>D. Fetal macrosomia, maternal obesity, diabetes mellitus, postterm pregnancy, a prior delivery complicated by a shoulder dystocia, and a prolonged second stage of labor are all associated with an increased incidence of shoulder dystocia. Although a family history can be indicative of large babies which might place her at additional risk, her gestational diabetes represents her largest risk factor. A 30-year-old G2P1 woman at 38 weeks gestation presents to labor and delivery with contractions every 2 -3 minutes. Her membranes are intact. Her cervical examination is 5 centimeters dilated, 100% effaced, and -1 station. The fetal heart rate tracing is category I. Two hours later, she progresses to 7 cm and 0 station and receives an epidural for pain. Four hours after that, her exam is unchanged (7/100/0). Fetal heart rate tracing remains category I. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient? A. Allow her to ambulate and return when she is ready to push B. Perform a contraction stress test C. Perform an amniotomy D. Perform a Cesarean delivery E. Place an internal fetal scalp electrode - ANS>C. This patient has secondary arrest of dilation, as she has not had any further cervical change in the active phase for over four hours. Amniotomy is often recommended in this situation. After it is performed, if the patient is still not in an adequate contraction pattern, augmentation with oxytocin can be attempted after careful evaluation. Although the patient requires close monitoring, it is too early to proceed with a Cesarean delivery. An internal scalp electrode is not necessary, since the fetal heart monitoring is reassuring. A 25-year-old G1 woman at term presents in active labor. Her cervix rapidly changes from 7 centimeters to complete dilation in 1 hour. She has been pushing for two hours. The fetal station has changed from -1 to +1. Fetal heart tracing is category I. The patient is feeling strong contractions every three minutes. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient? A. Cesarean delivery B. Forceps delivery C. Continued monitoring of labor D. Augmentation with oxytocin E. Ultrasound for estimated fetal weight - ANS>C. Continued monitoring of labor is appropriate if clinical evaluation indicates that the fetus is not macrosomic or there is no obvious fetopelvic disproportion. If either were the case, then a Cesarean delivery would be indicated. At this time, there is no fetal or maternal indication to perform a forceps delivery because the station is +1. Augmentation would be indicated if the contractions were inadequate in intensity or frequency. An ultrasound at this stage of labor is inaccurate and one relies on clinical estimates of weight. A 35-year-old G3P2 woman is at 18 weeks gestation. Her obstetrical history is significant for two previous low transverse Cesarean deliveries. Her first one was performed secondary to arrest of dilation in the active phase at 7cm. She delivered a healthy 3500 -gram infant. Her second Cesarean delivery was an elective repeat. She delivered a healthy 3400 -gram infant. The patient strongly desires to attempt a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Which of the following statements is correct? A. The likelihood of a uterine rupture after two Cesarean sections is is approximately 10% B. The likelihood of a successful VBAC is lower in patients with two previous Cesarean deliveries than in women with one prior Cesarean delivery C. The likelihood of a successful VBAC is not affected by the indication of the previous Cesarean delivery D. The likelihood of a successful VBAC after two Cesarean sections is approximately 30%. - ANS>B. Women attempting a vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC) after one previous low transverse Cesarean delivery have a 70-80% chance of having a successful VBAC and approximately 70% with two previous cesarean sections. The risk of uterine rupture with a history of one previous low transverse Cesarean section is approximately 1 percent or less. There are no data to demonstrate the exact increased risk of uterine rupture with a history of two previous Cesarean deliveries. The indication for the previous Cesarean delivery may affect the success rate of a future VBAC. Patients who had a prior Cesarean delivery for a nonrecurring indication, such as placenta previa or breech presentation are more likely to have a successful VBAC compared to patients whose previous Cesarean delivery was performed secondary to cephalopelvic disproportion. Prostaglandin induction in this patient would is contraindicated. A 25-year-old G1 woman at 41 weeks gestation presents to labor and delivery with painful contractions every four minutes. Her cervix is 5 cm dilated, 90% effaced. On cervical exam, you are able to feel a fetal body part but it is not the head. Which of the following is the most likely body part you were palplating? A.
