What is the plane that separates the true and the false pelvis? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Linea terminalis
What has occurred, in cephalic presentations, when the biparietal
diameter has passed through the inlet of the pelvis? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Engagement
What is a relationship determined when the anteroposterior diameter
of the fetal head is in alignment with the transverse diameter of the
pelvic inlet? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Asynclitism (or synclitism)
,What is it when the fetal head is tilted so that the fetal head leans
laterally toward the fetal shoulder somewhat? - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Acynclitism
What is it when the sagittal suture is located midway between the
symphysis pubis and the sacral promontory? - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Synclitism
What describes the mechanisms of labor that describe the movements
made by the fetus during labor? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Cardinal
movements of labor
What are the cardinal movements of labor? - CORRECT-ANSWER-(1)
engagement (2) descent (3) flexion (4) internal rotation (5) extension
(6) restitution (7) external rotation (8) lateral flexion
What cardinal movements of labor all occur simultaneously? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-(1) engagement (2) descent (3) flexion
,What is the mechanical advantage of acynclitism? - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Allows a bigger head to pass through the inlet and allows for
engagement
What is the downside to acynclitism? - CORRECT-ANSWER-If it persists
and the head is deep in the pelvis, it may prevent normal internal
rotation
What is the lower exiting parting of the pelvic curve; the fetus and the
placenta must follow this curve to be born? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Curve
of carus
What is the descent of the fetus into the true pelvis as early as 4 weeks
before true labor? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Lightening
, How should you listen for a baseline FHR with intermittent
auscultation? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Listen in between contractions with
fetus movement
What involves the entire skull with overlapping in one area being
counterbalanced by movement elsewhere, bones can move because
they are not fused yet? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Molding
What is the formation of edematous swelling over the most dependent
portion of the presenting fetal head? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Caput
succedaneum
What is the clinical significance of molding? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Allows
the fetal head to change shape and adapt to unyielding pelvis
What is the clinical significance of caput succedaneum? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Important to distinguish station of fetal head vs. station of
caput
