Question 1 of 5
Which assessment finding indicates uterine rupture?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Uterine rupture is a rare but serious obstetric emergency that can occur during labor and delivery. One of the key assessment findings indicating uterine rupture is when contractions (ctx) abruptly stop during labor. This abrupt cessation of contractions can be a sign that the uterine muscle has torn due to excessive pressure or force, leading to a disruption in the normal progress of labor. Other signs and symptoms of uterine rupture may include severe abdominal pain, abnormal fetal heart rate patterns, loss of fetal station, and signs of hypovolemic shock in the mother. Immediate intervention and surgical management are required in cases of uterine rupture to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
