NUR 2502 EXAM 2 CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION TEST 2026 PRACTICE
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ placenta previa. Answer: the placenta is implanted in the lower
uterine segment such that it completely or partially covers the
cervical os or is close enough to the cervix to cause bleeding when
the cervix dilates or the lower uterine segment effaces. When
transvaginal ultrasound is used, the placenta is classified as a
complete placenta previa if it totally covers the internal cervical os.
In a marginal placenta previa, the edge of the placenta is seen on
transvaginal ultrasound to be 2.5 cm or closer to the internal
cervical os. When the exact relationship of the placenta to the
internal cervical os has not been determined or in the case of
apparent placenta previa in the second trimester, the term low-lying
placenta is used
◉ placental abruption. Answer: Premature separation of the
placenta, or abruptio placentae, is the detachment of part or all of a
normally implanted placenta from the uterus (Fig. 12.14).
Separation occurs in the area of the decidua basalis after 20 weeks
of gestation and before the birth of the infant.
, ◉ Maternal cardiac disease. Answer: Impaired cardiac function
usually results from a congential defect or history of rheumatic heart
disease with valve prolapse or stenosis; dangerous because of
plasma volume increase that accompanies pregnancy
◉ when do we assess fetal heart rate?. Answer: typically between 8-
14 wks gestation or during labor we assess before during and after a
contraction forming a fetal heart rate pattern
◉ Leopold's Maneuvers. Answer: A series of four maneuvers
designed to provide a systematic approach whereby the examiner
may determine fetal presentation and position.
◉ Leopold maneuvers step 1.. Answer: Identify fetal part that
occupies the fundus. The head feels round, firm, and freely movable;
the breech feels less regular and softer. This maneuver identifies
fetal lie (longitudinal or transverse) and presentation (cephalic or
breech) (Fig. A).
◉ Leopold maneuver Step 2. Answer: 2. Using palmar surface of one
hand, locate and palpate the smooth convex contour of the fetal back
and the irregularities that identify the small parts (feet, hands,
knees, elbows). This m
◉ Leopold maneuver step 3.. Answer: With right hand, determine
which fetal part is presenting over the inlet to the true pelvis. Gently
