Signs and symptoms of anemia in pregnancy include all of the following except:
A. Bradycardia.
B. Fatigue.
C. Dyspnea.
Tachycardia, tiredness, dyspnea, and pallor are some signs and symptoms of
anemia during pregnancy. Iron supplements are an appropriate treatment for this
illness, which, if left untreated, can result in preterm delivery or low birth
weight infants.
Which of the following is true about gestational hypertension?
A. Diagnosed after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
B. proteinuria is present.
C. Seizures are present.
A. Gestational hypertension is diagnosed after the 20th week of pregnancy and
is defined as a blood pressure reading of 140/90 or higher obtained 4-6 hours
apart during the same week. There is no proteinuria with gestational
hypertension. Eclampsia leads to seizure activity.
Which maternal disease is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after
20 weeks of pregnancy and no seizure activity?
A. Gestational hypertension.
B. Pre-eclampsia
C. Eclampsia.
, B. Preeclampsia is defined as hypertension and proteinuria beyond 20 weeks of
pregnancy without seizure activity. Preeclampsia can be diagnosed without
proteinuria if any of the following conditions are present: thrombocytopenia,
elevated LFTs, pulmonary edema, or neurological abnormalities.
HELLP syndrome is a severe kind of preeclampsia characterized by all of the
following, except:
A: Thrombocytopenia
B: Hemolysis
C. Reduced LFTs.
C. HELLP syndrome is a severe form of preeclampsia characterized by
hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count. Headaches,
nausea/vomiting, RUQ pain, and exhaustion are some of the possible
symptoms. The definitive treatment is to birth the infant.
Which infections have the potential for vertical transmission during delivery?
A. Toxoplasmosis.
B: Cytomegalovirus
C) Syphilis
C. Syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and GBS can all be
transmitted vertically (from mother to newborn) during delivery. Teratogenic
infections, such as toxoplasmosis and CMV, result in congenital abnormalities
in the fetus.
