Signs and symptoms of preeclampsia include: a.) headache and edema b.) marked hypoglycemia c.) dyspnea and bradycardia d.) dysuria and constipation

headache and edema

If a woman with vaginal bleeding reports syncope, the EMT must assume that she: a.) is pregnant b.) is in shock c.) has an infection d.) has an ectopic pregnancy

is in shock

You have just delivered a premature baby. Your assessment reveals that he is breathing adequately; however, his heart rate is 90 beats/min. You should: a.) keep him warm and provide ventilatory assistance b.) begin chest compressions and reassess in 30 seconds c.) clamp and cut the umbilical cord and keep him warm d.) assess his skin color and give free-flow oxygen as needed

keep him warm and provide ventilatory assistance

limb presentation

leg, arm, or foot shows first in delivery

endometrium

lining of the inside of the uterus

uterus

muscle organ where fetus grows

Bacterial vaginosis is a condition that occurs when: a.) harmful bacteria infect and cause damage to the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes b.) normal bacteria in the vagina are replaced by an overgrowth of other bacterial forms c.) numerous bacteria enter the uterus through the cervix and cause severe tissue damage d.) abnormal bacteria enter the vagina and cause damage without causing any symptoms

normal bacteria in the vagina are replaced by an overgrowth of other bacterial forms

Most medical models base a pregnant woman's due date: a.) two weeks after her last menstrual cycle b.) on the last day of her last menstrual cycle c.) two weeks before her last menstrual cycle d.) on the first day of her last menstrual cycle

on the first day of her last menstrual cycle

A 33-year-old woman who is 36 weeks pregnant is experiencing scant vaginal bleeding. During transport, you note that she suddenly becomes diaphoretic, tachycardic, and hypotensive. In addition to administering 100% oxygen, you should: a.) place her in a left lateral recumbent position b.) position her supine and elevate her legs 12" c.) carefully place sterile gauze into her vagina d.) assist her ventilations with a bag-mask device

place her in a left lateral recumbent position

placenta previa

placenta develops over and covers the cervix

Your 22-year-old patient is in active labor. Upon visual inspection, you note that the infant's leg is protruding from the vagina. Appropriate management of this situation includes: a.) placing the mother supine with her head down and pelvis elevated b.) gently pulling on the infant's leg in an attempt to facilitate delivery c.) placing the mother in a recumbent position and rapidly transporting d.) carefully attempting to push the infant's leg off of the umbilical cord

placing the mother supine with her head down and pelvis elevated

Pregnant women are advised to take iron supplements, such as prenatal vitamins because: a.) iron makes the blood clot faster, which protects the mother from excessive bleeding during delivery b.) the blood naturally thins during pregnancy, which predisposes the mother to serve bleeding c.) white blood cells decrease during pregnancy, which increases the mother's risk of an infection d.) pregnancy causes a decreased number of red blood cells, which predisposes the mother to anemia

pregnancy causes a decreased number of red blood cells, which predisposes the mother to anemia

A pregnant trauma patient may lose a significant amount of blood before showing signs of shock because: a.) pregnant patients can dramatically increase their heart rate b.) pregnancy causes vasodilation and a lower blood pressure c.) pregnant patients have an overall increase in blood volume d.) blood is shunted to the uterus and fetus during major trauma

pregnant patients have an overall increase in blood volume

abruptio placenta

premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus

Fetal complications associated with drug-or alcohol-addicted mothers include all of the following, EXPECT: a.) low birth weight b.) profound tachycardia c.) premature delivery d.) respiratory depression

profound tachycardia

Following delivery of a pulseless and apneic infant who gas a foul odor, skin sloughing, and diffuse blistering, you should: a.) begin full resuscitation and transport b.) report the case to the medical examiner c.) provide emotional support to the mother d.) dry the infant off to stimulate breathing

provide emotional support to the mother

Upon delivery of the baby's head, you note that its face is encased in the unruptured amniotic sac.

that the baby's airway may be obstructed

Which of the following processes occurs during ovulation? a.) certain female hormone levels decrease significantly in quantity b.) the endometrium sheds its lining and is expelled from the vagina c.) the inner lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for implantation d.) numerous follicles mature and release eggs into the fallopian tubes

Vigorous suctioning of a newborn's airway is indicated if: a.) there is meconium in the amniotic fluid b.) positive-pressure ventilations are indicated c.) the new presents with labored breathing d.) his or her heart rate is less than 60 beats/min
