Q

True or False: Lactation is inhibited until the estrogen level declines after birth.

A

True

21

is a creamy white-to-yellowish premilk fluid that can be expressed from the nipples after birth.

A

colostrum

22
Q

As the uterine grows it may be palpated ______ some time between the 12th-14th weeks of pregnancy.

A

above the pubis symphysis

23
Q

The uterus rises gradually to the _____ at 22 to 24 weeks of gestation.

A

at the level of the umbilicus

24
Q

Between weeks 38 and 40 fundal height drops as the fetus begins to descend and engage in the pelvis.

A

called lightening

25
Q

At approximately 6 weeks of gestation, softening and compressibility of the lower uterine segment (uterine isthmus).Results in exaggerated uterine anteflexion= which the uterine fundus presses on the urinary bladder causing the woman to have urinary frequency.

A

Hegar Sign-softening of the uterine segment

26
Q

An important hormone in maintaining pregnancy is?

A

Progesterone by relaxing smooth muscles. This reduces uterine activity and prevents miscarriage.

27
Q

what hormone that stimulates uterine contractions?

A

Oxytocin

28
Q

Contractions that are irregular and painless, usually occurs intermittently throughout pregnancy. Facilitates uterine blood flow and promote oxygen delivery to the fetus.

A

Braxton Hicks

29
Q

sound made by blood in the uterine arteries that is synchronous with the maternal pulse.

A

Uterine souffle

30
Q

sound made by blood rushing through the umbilical vessels and synchronous with the fetal heart rate.

A

Funic souffle

31
Q

softening of the cervical tip

A

Goodell sign- brought by increased vascularity,

32
Q

The rate of blood flow through the uterus ranges from ____ ml/min at term and oxygen consumption of the gravid uterus increases to meet fetal needs.

A

450-650 ml/min

33
Q

excessive salivation

A

ptyalism- normal finding

34
Q

heartburn

A

pyrosis- normal finding

35
Q

true or false: decreased peristalsis is normal?

A

true

36
Q

where is the the appendix located?

A

displaced upward and laterally, high and to the right

37
Q

technique for palpating the fetus (bounce/rebound feel)

A

ballottement (18 weeks)

38
Q

Increased vascularity results in a violet-bluish vaginal mucosa and cervix

A

Chadwick sign (6th week)

39
Q

white or slightly gray mucoid discharge with a faint musty odor (vaginal discharge)due to stimulation of estrogen and progesterone.

A

Leukorrhea -normal

40
Q

mucous plug that acts as a barrier against bacterial invasion during pregnancy

A

operculum

41
Q

During pregnancy the pH of vaginal secretions is more ____ than normal ranging ~3.5 to 6 (normal 4-5)

A

Acidic- because of increased production of lactic acid, making the woman more vulnerable to yeast infections because the glycogen-rich environment is more susceptible to Candida albicans.

42
Q

called the mask of pregnancy

A

Chloasma- blotchy, brownish coloring over the woman’s cheeks, nose, forehead (normal) due to hormonal change.

43
Q

pigmented line that runs vertically up the abdomen

also known as stretch marks

A

striae gravidarum

45
Q

is signified by pinkish red blotches on the hands
