BP, 5 hrs after measurement, is 140/90 & wt is 154.3 lbs, a gain of 11 lbs in one week. PE shows pitting edema to the calves. Labs are normal. Urine dipstick shows 1+ protein & 1+ glucose. Fetal heart tracings are reactive. Which of the following is the best next step for confirming this Dx? (Observation of BP for 4 hours OR Urine protein-to-creatine ratio test)

Urine protein-to-creatinine ratio test - Pt has signs of preeclampsia -A) Preeclampsia is defined as: ---1) SBP ≥140 OR DBP ≥90 ---2) On TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS ---3) New -onset HTN (usually ~20wks) PLUS evidence of end organ damage ------(classically proteinuria) -A) MGMT ---a) Dx tests include: ------1) 24-hrs Urine collection → GOLD STD ------2) Urine protein:Cr ratio ----------(Allows for RAPID assessment) Observation of BP for 4 hours - pt has HTN & shows evidence of proteinuria - This is an indication for Preeclampsia testing

A 28F, gravida 2 para 1, Presents in active labor at 37 wks w/ severe abd pain & back pain. The pt had a prior CS delivery & is scheduled for a repeat CS at 39 wks. She has been normotensive throughout the pregnancy, which has been uncomplicated. Her BP is 90/60, & pulse is 120/min. PE shows a palpable, irregular protuberance in the lower abd & moderate vaginal bleeding. The cervix is 3 cm dilated & 80% effaced. A bulging bag is palpated at the cervical os, but there is not presenting fetal part. The fetal HR tracing shows a deceleration. Which of the following is the most likely Dx? (Umbilical cord prolapse OR Uterine rupture)

Uterine Rupture - Pt presents w/ uterine rupture -A) RF ---1) Prior CS -B) Signs/symptoms ---1) Sudden, excruciating abd pain ---2) Bulging bag → indicates Bleeding (vaginal/intra abdominal) → which can result in: -------a) Hypotension -------b) tachycardia ---3) Loss of fetal station --------(no palpable fetal presenting part) - Presence of abdominally palpable fetal parts -C) CTG findings ----1) FHR would show Decelerations Umbilical cord prolapse - CS is also A RF for umbilical cord prolapse - However, key differences are: ---1) WOULD HAVE a Palpable, fetal presenting part w/ umbilical cord

A 34F, G3P2, has a precipitous spontaneous vaginal delivery of a 4240g (9lbs 5oz) boy at 39 wks after an uncomplicated prenatal course. Her prior pregnancies were delivered vaginally, & she has no Hx of prior surgery. After 20 mins, the placenta does not deliver. Traction on the umbilical cord & fundal massage are implemented. The umbilical cord avulses, after which the pt develops severe abd pain, SOB, & copious vaginal bleeding. BP is 70/40, pulse is 62/min. Exam shows a smooth, round, pale mass protruding from the vagina. The uterine fundus is no loner palpable at the umbilicus. Which of the following is the most likely Dx? (Uterine inversion OR Uterine rupture)

Uterine inversion > results from excessive fundal pressure & traction on the umbilical cord before placental separation >> the fundus collapses into the endometrial cavity & prolapsed thru the cervix, resulting in a *smooth, round mass protruding through vagina or cervix* > usually presents w/: 1- *Hemorrhagic shock* (pts low BP & copious bleeding) 2- Lower Abd pain 3- Absent fundus 4- presence of smooth, round mass protruding through vagina/cervix 5- Occurs postpartum (after delivery) Uterine rupture > Disruption of the wall of uterus that presents w/: 1- Severe pain 2- Antepartum bleeding 3- Loss of fetal station 4- *pt would have a Hx sig for CS delivery* 5- Occurs DURING delivery

A 32F, G3P2, at 38 wks presents to the hospital w/ labor contractions. The pt's prenatal course was normal. Her second pregnancy required a CS for breech at 39 wks. BP is 100/60, pulse is 115/min, RR is 26/min. PE shows the cervix 6 cm dilated & 60% effaced w/ fetal head at 0 station. Uterine contractions are regular & occur every 4 mins, & fetal heart tracing is normal. The pt is admitted to the L & D unit for expectant MGMT & declines epi. 2 hours later, she suddenly appears restless & has intense lower abd pain. PE shows moderate vaginal bleeding, & the cervix is 6 cm dilated & 60% effaced w/ fetal head at -3 station. Fetal heart monitoring shows tachy & recurrent variable decels. Which of the following is the most likely Dx? (Fetal nuchal cord OR Uterine rupture)

Uterine rupture > typically occurs in pts w/ prior uterine surgery >> this pt had a uterine rupture at the scar of her prior CS >> often presents w/; 1- *Focal, intense abd pain* (prior to the rupture that is relieved by the rupture but resumes shorty after in diffuse distribution) 2- Hyperventilation 3- *Agitation* 4- Tachy 5- *Bleeding* (vaginal or intra-abdominal) 6- *Abnormal fetal heart tracings* (fetal tachy, recurrent decels) Fetal nuchal cord > Usually clinically insignificant >> can cause abnormal fetal heart tracings *recurrent variable decels* >> *but not significant pain or bleeding*

A 28y/o F, G1P0, at 41 wks comes to the hospital for antepartum fetal surveillance. She has had less fetal mvmts than usual but no abd pain, leakage of fluid, or vaginal bleeding. BP is 120/80. The pr's pre-pregnancy BMI was 40, and she has gained 44 lbs during the pregnancy. Her pregnancy has been otherwise uncomplicated. NST shows a baseline FHR of 140/min, moderate variability, and no accelerations for > 40 mins. Two contractions are observed on the tocodynamometer. An episode of Fetal HR decrease to 130/min began after at the peak contraction & lasted for a minute. US shows a fetus in cephalic presentation, a loop of umbilical cord near the neck, an estimated fetal wt at the 35th percentile for gestational age, and a single deepest pocket of amniotic fluid of 1cm. Biophysical profile shows: - NST. 0 - Amniotic fluid. 0 - Fetal MVMTs. 2 - Fetal tone. 2 - Fetal breathing mvmts 0 Which of the following is the most likely cause of this pts biophysical profile results? (Nuchal cord OR Uteroplacental insufficiency)

Uteroplacental insufficiency - A score of 4 or lower is abnormal and signifies uteroplacental insufficiency - Uteroplacental insufficiency will effect the biophysical profile score because it has two components that directly affect the biophysical profile, including: --1) Oligohydraminos → which effects the single deepest amniotic fluid pocket --2) Late decels → which affect the Non-reactive stress test Nuchal cord - Would show up as variable decels, which would be seen in CTG - They would not affect the biophysical profile

A 57F, presents for eval of vaginal pruritus, pain w/ urination, & increased urinary frequency. The pt's symptoms have been persistent for several months but have intensified recently. Her husband passed away 4 yrs ago, & the pt had not been sexually active until 6 months ago w/ a new partner.

What is the most probable cause of her hypotension? (Progressive hypovolemia OR Vasodilation & venous pooling)

Vasodilation & venous pooling > Hypotension w/ epi occurs when the sympathetic nerve fibers responsible for the vascular tone are blocked, resulting in vasodilation (venous pooling), decreased VR to right side of heart & decreased CO. TMT > can be prevented by aggressive IV fluid volume expansion prior to epi > Left uterine displacement (positioning pt on left side) to improve VR > additional IV fluid bolus > Vasopressors Progressive Hypovolemia > Would be secondary to ongoing fluid & blood loss OR Electrolyte abnormalities

A 51F, presents to the office for a routine health maintenance exam. She has no concerns today. The pt recently had a normal screening mammogram. She has DM I & her last Hb A1c was 7.6%.

(Vitiligo OR Lichen planus)

Vitiligo - Although vitiligo has a more generalized distribution, a subset of pts have lesions that only affects the genital or oral mucosa Lichen planus > Pt would have bright, glazed, red-purple plaques & papules w/ an overlying white, lacy pattern (Wickham striae) > pt would have significant symptoms, such as: 1- Pruritus 2- Pain 3- Dyspareunia -----[not associated hypopigmentation]

A 70F, presents d/t vulvar pruritus. The pt had had increasing pruritus over the past 4 months that has not improved w/ topical emollients.
