,1. Which of the following is a critical factor in preventing
postpartum hemorrhage in a woman with a history of atonic
uterus?
- A) Administration of Methylergonovine
- B) Increased hydration
- C) Application of fundal pressure
- D) Use of Laminaria tents
Answer: A) Administration of Methylergonovine
Rationale: Methylergonovine is a uterotonic agent used to
enhance uterine contraction, thus reducing the risk of atonic uterus
and subsequent postpartum hemorrhage.
2. When educating a diabetic pregnant woman about insulin

- A) Insulin needs will drastically increase
- B) Insulin needs will reach their lowest point
- C) Insulin needs will decrease
- D) Insulin needs remain unchanged

Rationale: During labor, the energy demands and physical
exertion can lead to lower insulin requirements, as glucose

3. What is the most important time frame to administer
prophylactic antibiotics for a cesarean section to reduce the risk of
surgical site infections?
- A) After the incision is made
- B) Within 24 hours post-surgery
- C) 15-60 minutes before incision
- D) Before hospital discharge
Answer: C) 15-60 minutes before incision
Rationale: Administering antibiotics within this time frame
ensures adequate tissue concentrations of the drug at the time of
incision, reducing the likelihood of infection.
4. Which neonatal screening is critical for early detection of a
metabolic disorder that could lead to severe neurological damage if
untreated?
- A) Phenylketonuria (PKU) screening
- B) Blood glucose monitoring
