Physiologic Changes during Pregnancy
This maternal immunization is contradicted during pregnancy due to its well-known risk of birth defects
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine
This maternal landmark is used to gauge the station of the fetal head
Ischial Spines
A woman is experiencing preterm labor and is given this glucocorticoid to enhance fetal lung maturity
Betamethasone
The umbilical cord is composed of how many arteries and vessels
Two arteries and one vein
This obstetrical emergency occurs when the uterine walls tears open
Uterine Rupture
Increased consumption of this before and during pregnancy is recommended to reduce the risk of neural tube defects
Folic Acid
Describe the 4 stages of labor
First stage - dilation and effacement
Second Stage - pushing and delivery of baby
Third Stage - delivery of placenta
Fourth Stage - Postpartum period
This drug is used to treat preeclampsia and can cause maternal respiratory depression
Magnesium sulfate
The cause of late decelerations
Uteroplacental Insufficiency
This procedure may be done to expidite the delivery of a fetus in distress and involves making an surgical incision in the perineum
Episiotomy
This is defined as the first time a pregnant person is able to feel her fetus move
Quickening
A fluid bolus is given to decrease the risk of this when administering regional anesthesia
Hypotension
This complication of pregnancy occurs when the placenta attaches to the lower uterine segment of the uterus
Placenta previa
This non-invasive assessment should be performed by pregnant women daily after quickening occurs
Daily fetal movement count, also known as kick counts
This obstetrical emergency occurs when the umbilical cord protrudes past the presenting part
Umbilical Cord Prolapse
The formula used to calculate Naegele's Rule
LMP - 3 months + 7 days
This fetal position is associated with a prolonged, difficult labor with severe back pain
Occiput posterior (OP)
A benign growth of grapelike clusters without a viable fetus
Hydatidiform (molar) pregnancy
Fetal cord compression causes this abrupt drop in fetal heart rate
Variable deceleration
Patients experiencing this obstetrical emergency may present with the following signs/symptoms: rigid hard abdomen, bleeding, back pain, and frequent uterine contractions
Placental Abruption
Calculate GTPAL: A client who is 30 weeks pregnant had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and a living child born at 32 weeks.
G-3 T-0 P-1 A-1 L- 1
There is an increased risk for maternal respiratory depression with this regional anesthesia
Spinal Anesthesia
This complication of pregnancy increases the risk of the fetus developing congenital malformations
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1, 2, or GDM)
List the 5 components of a Biophysical Profile
Movement, tone, breathing movement, amniotic fluid, and a Nonstress test (NST)
This type of incision is typically performed during obstetrical emergencies and is contraindicated for vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC)
Classical incision
