SIMTICS Fetal Growth and High Risk
Pregnancies(Complete solutions)
A sonographer reports amniotic band syndrome. What ultrasound finding is present in this
syndrome? correct answersechogenic bands attached to the uterine wall
Placentomegaly is when the placental thickness measures: correct answersgreater than 5cm
Placental abruption is suspected. What is/are the differential diagnoses of placental abruption?
correct answersuterine contractions, hypoechoic fibroid
Color Doppler of the placenta demonstrates vascular bands connecting two segments of the
placenta across the internal os. What is this condition known as? correct answersvasa previa
To perform a translabial scan of the lower uterine segment in the third trimester, what anatomy
should the sonographer expect to be able to identify? correct answersvagina, cervix, lower
uterine segment and placenta
An anechoic cystic structure less than 2 cm in diameter and located in the umbilical cord is most
likely to be a(n): correct answerscord cyst
a paramarginal cord insertion is one which correct answersinserts on the placental edge less than
2 cm from the placental margin
The fetus is obscuring the lower edge of the placenta being visualized in the second trimester.
What can the sonographer do to improve visualization? correct answersplace the woman in
trendelenberg position
A ____ of amniotic fluid volume is a visual evaluation of the amniotic fluid. correct
answerssubjective assessment
what is exsanguination of the fetus? correct answersfetal demise due to blood loss
in the image shown, the placenta is correct answerscircumvallate
The shortest distance between the lower placental edge and the internal os considered safe for a
vaginal delivery is: correct answers2 cm
The basal layer of the placenta is: correct answersthe outer maternal portion touching the uterus
Sonographic features of the normal umbilical cord include: correct answers2 umbilical arteries
and 1 umbilical vein seen as hypoechoic tubular structures and echogenic walls
Oligohydramnios results in: correct answerscrowding of the fetus and restricted fetal movement
, When performing the four-quadrant amniotic fluid volume calculation, it is important to hold the
transducer in which position: correct answersin longitudinal plane perpendicular to the
examination table
A woman presents with persistent postpartum bleeding. What should the sonographer suspect?
correct answersretained products of conception
The amniotic fluid volume: correct answersis the sum of the inflow and outflow of fluid in the
amniotic space around the fetus
A patient has a history of uterine curettage surgery and a previous caesarean section. The
ultrasound examination demonstrates a sheet partially dividing the gestational sac. What could
this be? correct answerssynechiae
A patient presents with extreme nausea and vomiting, vaginal bleeding, a uterus that is clinically
large for dates, and elevated hCG levels. The ultrasound appearance is of "Swiss cheese" or a
"bunch of grapes" with no identifiable fetal parts. What should be suspected? correct
answerstrophoblastic disease
This is known as absent amniotic fluid, and if it occurs in the first or second trimester, there is a
poor pregnancy prognosis: correct answersanhydramnios
The time allocated to perform the ultrasound component of BPP is: correct answers30min
Less than three definite extremity or trunk movements are identified during the BPP. What is this
score given? correct answers0
Why is it important to identify an anterior placeta? correct answersin case of cesarean section
and possible damage by the incision
the resistance of blood flow in the umbilical arteries does what with increasing GA? correct
answersdecreases
the sonographer performs a scan, calculates the amniotic fluid, and plots it on the graph show.
what would be suspected from these results? correct answerspoly hydramnios
complications of placenta previa include an increased risk of: correct answerspremature delivery,
post partum hemorrhage, IUGR
in placental infarct, when the infarct is severe, what may occur? correct answersplacental
insufficiency
the type of placenta previa on the diagram shown is: correct answerspartial, asymmetrical over
os
