a. estrogens hormone supplements, such as es-
b. nitrofurantoin trogens, may cause congenital de-
c. methotrexate fects of female reproductive organs.
d. valproic acid Methotrexate can cause congenital
abnormalities (central nervous sys-
tem and limbs malformations) and fe-
tal death. Valproic acid is high ter-
atogenic and cause neural tube de-
fects, atrial septal defect, cleft palate,
hypospadias, polydactyly, and cran-
iosynostosis.
2. The nurse understands which an- a. atenolol
tihypertensive medication is con-
traindicated in lactating women? Atenolol is contraindicated in lactat-
a. atenolol ing women because it enters the
b. labetalol breastmilk and may cause adverse
c. metoprolol effects to the neonate. Labetalol and
d. propranolol propanolol are safe to administer dur-
ing lactation. Metoprolol is considered
a safe medication to be taken during
lactation

tration of menotropins for infertility? Menotropins that are administered
a. estrogen for infertility act at the pituitary lev-
b. luteinizing hormone el. Gonadotropin-releasing hormones
c. follicle-stimulating hormone act at the hypothalamus level; there-
d. gonadotropin-releasing hormone fore this hormone does not need to

mones should be monitored. Also, es-
trogen levels need to be monitored
because the luteinizing hormone di-
rectly stimulates the production of es-
trogen
4. Which birth control agent requires b. intramuscular progestin
administration once every three
months? Intramuscular progestin requires the
A. Progestin-only pills administration of a single injection
B. Intramuscular progestin every three months. Progressed-only
C. Combination biphasic forms oral contraceptive pills should be tak-
D. Combination monophasic forms en on a daily basis because of a
higher incidence of ovulatory cycles.
Combination biphasic and monopha-
sic forms are administered as either a
21 or 28 day course.
5. Which medication with the nurse c. misoprostol
identify as being used both for cer-
vical ripening during labor and has Misoprostol can be used for cervi-
a stomach protectant? cal ripening and as a stomach pro-
a. raloxifene tectant. Raloxifene is used to pre-
b. clomiphene vent postmenopausal osteoporosis.
c. misoprostol Clomiphene is used for ovulation.
d. dinoprostone Dinoprostone can be used for cervical
ripening, but this medication does not
act as a stomach protectant.
6. Which effect with the nurse identify b. gross malformations
as seen when the fetus is exposed
to a teratogen during embryonic pe- Gross malformations occur if there is
riod? exposure to a teratogen during the
a. delay in growth embryonic period or the first trimester.
b. gross malformations During the fetal period, exposure to
c. death of the conceptus a teratogen causes delays in growth
d. disruption of brain development and development of the fetus. Death
of the conceptus occurs if exposed

to a lethal dose of teratogen during
the pre-implantation period. Exposure
to a teratogen during the fetal period
(second or third trimester) causes dis-
ruption of brain development.
7. Which medication may be used to d. methylergonovine
treat postpartum hemorrhage?
a. clomiphene Methylergonovine is a medication
b. menotropins of choice used to treat postpar-
c. dinoprostone tum hemorrhage. Clomiphene and
d. methylergonovine menotropins are ovulation stimulants
given to induce ovulation in infertile
women. Dinoprostone is used to in-
duce cervical ripening and cause ter-
mination of a pregnancy.
8. Which teratogenic effect is seen be- c. Ebstein anomaly
cause of lithium?
a. stillbirth Ebstein anomaly (cardiac defects) in
b. shortened limbs the newborn occurs because of tak-
c. Ebstein anomaly ing lithium during pregnancy. Stillbirth
d. neural tube defects may occur because of alcohol use.
Shortened limbs may occur because
of thalidomide. Neural tube defects
are due to anti seizure medications.
9. Which medication may cause mal- b. Dutasteride
formations of the male external gen-
italia? Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase in-
a. Etretinate hibitor that causes malformations of
b. Dutasteride external genitalia in males. Etretinate
c. Methimazole is a vitamin A derivative that may
d. Propylthiouracil cause multiple CNS defects. Methi-
mazole and propylthiouracil are an-
tithyroid medications that may cause
goiters and hypothyroidism.
