1. During maternal assessment, which of the following is a sign of
preeclampsia?
- A. Decreased blood pressure
- B. Proteinuria and elevated blood pressure
- C. Hyperglycemia

,2. What is the primary goal of administering Rh immunoglobulin
(RhoGAM) to an Rh-negative mother during pregnancy?
- A. To treat maternal anemia
- B. To prevent fetal anemia due to Rh incompatibility
- C. To stabilize maternal hormones
- D. To enhance fetal lung maturity
Correct ANS: B. To prevent fetal anemia due to Rh
incompatibility
Rationale: RhoGAM prevents maternal sensitization to Rh-
positive fetal red blood cells.
3. Which assessment finding indicates fetal distress during labor?
- A. Fetal heart rate variability within normal limits
- B. Early decelerations
- C. Late decelerations
- D. Accelerations
Correct ANS: C. Late decelerations
Rationale: Late decelerations indicate uteroplacental
insufficiency and potential fetal compromise.
4. Which obstetric complication is characterized by premature
