Complication Postpartum Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which condition is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Inversion of the uterus is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. It occurs when the uterus turns inside out and protrudes through the cervix, which can lead to severe hemorrhage and shock. Prompt intervention is crucial to restore the uterus to its normal position, control bleeding, and prevent further complications such as infection or tissue necrosis. Failure to address uterine inversion promptly can result in life-threatening consequences for the mother. In contrast, hypotonic uterus, ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura), and uterine atony, while serious conditions, do not typically constitute immediate emergencies that necessitate urgent intervention on the same time-critical scale as uterine inversion.
