Question 1 of 5

Trial of scar is likely to have an auspicious outcome if the

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because an estimated fetal weight below 3500 grams indicates a lower risk of complications during childbirth. Higher fetal weight increases the likelihood of shoulder dystocia and birth injuries. Maternal body mass index, gestational age, and maternal age do not directly impact the likelihood of a favorable outcome during a trial of scar.

Question 2 of 5

Intraperitoneal uterine rupture involves

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because intraperitoneal uterine rupture involves a tear that goes through all layers of the uterus - endometrium, myometrium, and peritoneum. This type of rupture extends beyond the muscular layer of the uterus and into the peritoneal cavity. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not include the peritoneum, which is a key component of intraperitoneal uterine rupture. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the layers involved in this type of rupture.

Question 3 of 5

Which one of the following statements is correct with regards to face presentation?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Majority are classified as secondary face presentation. In face presentation, the fetal head is hyperextended, presenting the face to the birth canal. Primary face presentation is rare. The bi-parietal diameter is not the presenting diameter in face presentation, as it is in vertex presentation. Locating the anterior fontanelle is not diagnostic of face presentation, as the fontanelles can be difficult to palpate during labor. Therefore, the correct statement is that the majority of face presentations are classified as secondary face presentation.

Question 4 of 5

The type of cord prolapse characterized by presence of the fetal umbilical cord alongside the presenting part is

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Funic cord prolapse. Funic cord prolapse is characterized by the fetal umbilical cord being alongside the presenting part. This type of cord prolapse is a more specific term used to describe the exact position of the cord in relation to the presenting part. The other choices are incorrect because: - A: Occult umbilical cord prolapse refers to a hidden or concealed cord prolapse, where the cord is not visible externally. - B: Overt umbilical cord prolapse is when the cord is visible externally before the presenting part. - D: Complete cord prolapse implies that the entire cord has descended through the cervix before the presenting part, not just alongside it. Therefore, the correct choice is C as it accurately describes the specific positioning of the umbilical cord in relation to the presenting part during cord prolapse.

Question 5 of 5

The presenting diameter in brow presentation is

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The presenting diameter in brow presentation is the suboccipitofrontal diameter. This is because in brow presentation, the fetal head is in a deflexed position, with the largest diameter being from the subocciput (back of the head) to the frontal bone (forehead). This allows the head to enter the pelvis in the transverse diameter. A: Mentovertical - This refers to the chin to the top of the head, not the correct diameter for brow presentation. B: Submentobregmatic - This refers to the chin to the bregma, not the correct diameter for brow presentation. D: Occipitalfrontal - This refers to the back of the head to the forehead, not the correct diameter for brow presentation.
