Question 1: What is the formation of edematous swelling over the
most dependent portion of the presenting fetal head?
Answer:
Caput succedaneum
Question 2: What is the clinical significance of molding?
Answer:
Allows the fetal head to change shape and adapt to unyielding pelvis
Question 3: What is the clinical significance of caput
succedaneum?
Answer:
Important to distinguish station of fetal head vs. station of caput
Question 4: What is the relationship of long axis of fetus to long
axis of mother?
Answer:
Lie
Question 5: What is, for a vertex presention, the relationship of
occiput to the maternal pelvis?
Answer:
Position
,Question 6: What is the part of fetus that presents into maternal
pelvis?
Answer:
Presentation
Question 7: What is the relation of fetal parts to each other?
Answer:
Attitude (flexion or extension)
Question 8: What is the chosen point on the presenting part of the
fetus that is used to describe position?
Answer:
Denominator
Question 9: What is the posterior portion of the pelvis; formed by
the fusion of the five sacral vertebrae?
Answer:
Sacrum
Question 10: What is the posterior portion of the pelvis, formed by
the fusion of usually 4 rudimentary vertebrae and joins the sacrum
at the sacrococcygeal symphysis?
Answer:
Coccyx
Question 11: What are the innominate bones of the pelvis?
Answer:
(1) pubis (2) ilium (2) ischium
,Question 12: What is the bone that you sit on?
Answer:
Ischial tuberosity
Question 13: What is a bony projection pointing inward towards the
coccyx, during labor we judge fetal station by how far the
presenting part is from this landmark?
Answer:
Ischial spine
Question 14: Where is where the two pubic bones join and are
attached by a fibrocartilage disc?
Answer:
Symphysis pubis
Question 15: What are the two joints that join the ilia with the
sacrum; have hinge-type movement that gives that sacrum the
ability to rotate slightly, enlarging the space that the fetus has to fit
through to be born?
Answer:
Sacroiliac joints
Question 16: What is the way in which the fetus adapts itself to and
passes through the maternal pelvis, movements generally occur as
a result of force from above and resistance from below?
Answer:
Cardinal movements
Question 17: What is the force from above that causes cardinal
movements?
, Answer:
(1) Contractions (2) pushing (3) gravity
Question 18: What is the resistance from below during cardinal
movements?
Answer:
(1) bony pelvis (2) muscles (3) cervix
Question 19: What are the maternal ovals?
Answer:
(1) inlet (2) midplane (3) outlet
Question 20: What is the level at the linea termanalis?
Answer:
Inlet
Question 21: What at the level of ischial spines?
Answer:
Midplane
Question 22: What is below the ischial spines?
Answer:
