2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ALREADY PASSED
● Probable Signs of Pregnancy . Answer: Goodell's sign (cervical
softening at 4wk), Chadwick's sign (blue color of vagina & cervix at 6-8
wk), enlarged uterus, (+) urine or blood pregnancy test.
● Positive Signs of Pregnancy . Answer: Palpation of fetus, ultrasound
visualization of fetus, and fetal heart tones.
● 12 week Fundal Height . Answer: The fundus should be at the level of
the symphysis pubis
● 16 week Fundal Height . Answer: The fundus should be between the
symphysis pubis and umbilicus
● 20 week Fundal Height . Answer: The fundus should be at the level of
the umbillicus
● 25-35 week Fundal Height . Answer: The fundus should measure from
the symphysis pubis and correlate with with gestational week (+/- 2 cm)
,● Naegele's Rule . Answer: Add 7 days to LMP, subtract 3 months, add 1
year; Used to calculate due date
● Tier 1 Birth Control . Answer: Fail rate <1%; IUD, DMPA (Depo),
Progestin implant, sterilization
● Tier 2 Birth Control . Answer: Fail rate 2-3%; OCP, COC's,
transdermals, cervical ring.
● Tier 3 Birth Control . Answer: Fail rate roughly 20%; Barrier methods,
can protect against STIs
● Caldwell-Moloy Classification . Answer: Four basic pelvic types:
gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid
● FSH . Answer: Gonadotrophin: targets the ovaries, where it stimulates
the growth and development of the primary follicles and results in the
production of estrogen and progesterone.
● LH . Answer: Gonadotrophin: targets the developing follicle within
the ovary; it is responsible for ovulation, corpus luteum formation, and
hormone production in the ovaries.
, ● Hypothalamus . Answer: Releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone
(GnRH) in a pulsatile manner to initiate negative feedback system.
Stimulates gonadotrophins->FSH&LH release-> Estrogen/Progesterone
release-> Pituitary gland notes Estrogen/Progesterone levels and
regulates the cycle by altering further FSH/LH release.
● Ovarian Cycle . Answer: The 28 days of the menstrual cycle as they
apply to events in the ovary. The ovarian cycle has three subphases: the
follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase.
● Follicular Phase . Answer: The first phase of the ovarian cycle, during
which a follicle (an oocyte and its surroudning cells) enlarges and
matures. This phase is under the control of FSH from the anterior
pituitary, and typically lasts from day 1 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle.
The follicle secretes estrogen during this time period.
● Ovulatory Phase . Answer: The second stage of the general menstrual
cycle, when the mature ovum is released. Approximately 10 to 12 hours
after the LH peak
● Luteal Phase . Answer: The third phase of the ovarian cycle, during
which a corpus luteum is formed from the remnants of the follicle that
has ovulated its oocyte. The corpus luteum secretes progestrone and
estrogen during this time period, which typically lasts from day 15 to
day 28 of the menstrual cycle. Formation of the corpul luteum is
triggered by the same LH surge that triggers ovulation, however in the
