Preeclampsia is an abnormal vascular response involving dysfunction of the - ANS-
endothelium
Piggybacking to oxytocin to the primary IV at the point closest to the IV insertion site will
- ANS-allow for rapid discontinuation
In the neonate, the rise of PaO2 after birth is the potent stimulus for the closure of the -
ANS-foramen ovale
Palpation of neonate's head at 3 hours of age reveals a soft edematous area that
crosses suture lines. This is consistent with - ANS-caput succadenum
Coaching women to push with every other of third contraction during the second stage
of labor is indicated when the - ANS-fetal heart rate is abnormal
A management strategy for prolonged latent phase of labor is a multigravid woman is -
ANS-oxytocin
Immunoassay testing for premature rupture of membranes involves analysis of amniotic
fluid for - ANS-pH determination
Misoprostol compared to other cervical ripening agents has - ANS-a higher rate of
tachysystole
The fetal heart rate should be assessed on what time interval in a patient without
complications in the active stage of labor? - ANS-30 minutes
Transient loss of variablity as an intact fetus physiologically responds to hypoxic stress
demonstrates - ANS-ongoing fetal hypoxia
The differences in side effects of parenteral analgesic medications given for pain relief
in labor relate to the drug's - ANS-half life
Absorption of local anesthetic agents administered to a woman in labor depends
primarily on the - ANS-biovailability of the specified drug
When tachysystole of hypertonus occurs with induction of labor with oxytocin, this
results in - ANS-decreased uterine blood flow
, The effect of prolonged use of the valsalva maneuver during second stage of labor is -
ANS-respiratory alkalosis
The biophysical profile result of a woman at 37 weeks gestation is 6. The amniotic fluid
volume was normal. The test should be repeated - ANS-within 24-48 hours
Dinoprostone (Cervidil) is used for cervical ripening in a woman at 39 weeks gestation.
After one hour, tachysystole develops but the fetal heart rate pattern is normal.
Appropriate management is to: - ANS-remove the insert
Nifedipine acts as a tocolytic agent by interfering with: - ANS-availability of calcium
The progression of labor is based on: - ANS-individual factors and clinical
conditions
Universal alphafetoprotein sceening should be offered to all women because: - ANS-
there is little risk or complications from the testing

relationship to" - ANS-fetal heart rate baseline
Hindmilk promotes infant weight gain because of its: - ANS-high fat content
The concept of "day dreaming" is an integral part of the nonpharmacologic pain relief
strategy in labor of: - ANS-imagery
After administration of an epidural, a woman experienced respiratory depression. This is
likely due to: - ANS-sympathetic blockade
A main disadvantage of fentanyl use for pain relief in labor is: - ANS-short duration of
action
The most common umbilical cord complication of monoamniotic twin gestation is: -
ANS-entanglement
