Question 1 of 5
A woman at 38-weeks gestation comes to the emergency room with complaints of vaginal bleeding.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placenta previa is characterized by painless vaginal bleeding, as the placenta covers the cervical os. The statement ‘I feel fine, but the bleeding scares me’ indicates bleeding without pain, consistent with placenta previa. Nausea, activity-related bleeding, or cramps suggest other causes like abruptio placentae.
