A

thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4 and total T3

18
Q

-cord compression.
-postmaturity syndrome.
-Rh isoimmunization.
-maternal bacterial infection.
-uteroplacental insufficiency.

-substance abuse
-dehydration.

19
Q

An ultrasound done on a 36 week G2P1001 for size less than dates reveals an estimated fetal weight (EFW) in the 25th percentile, amniotic fluid index of 5 cm with the largest vertical pocket of 2 cm. Based on these findings, what should the nurse-midwife include in the management plan?

A

Home with activity modified, increase oral fluids, order bi-weekly fetal surveillance testing, collaborate with obstetrician

20
Q

During her 6 week postpartum visit a G2P2002 is concerned with fatigue, insomnia, palpitations and anxiety. Review of her history reveals diet controlled gestational diabetes (GDM) and hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine. The nurse-midwife is concerned she may have

A

postpartum thyroiditis (hypertensive phase).

21
Q

A G1P0 at 34 weeks gestation fundal height measures 31 centimeters. At her last visit, 2 weeks ago, she measured 30 centimeters. Based on these findings, how should the nurse-midwife proceed?

A

Order an U/S

22
Q

The midwife is evaluating ultrasound reports on a 35 week G3P2002 whose fundal height has consistently measured 3 centimeters less than dates since 27 weeks gestation. The 27 week, 30 week, and 33 week ultrasound estimated fetal weights (EFW) are consistently in the 9th percentile showing continued growth despite a 3 week delay in gestational age, amniotic fluid index (AFI) 10-16 centimeters, and normal doppler flow studies. Review of the woman’s history reveals:

maternal birth weight 6 lbs 4 oz at term
BMI 21
pregnancy weight gain 20 pounds
2014 delivered 6 lb baby girl
2011 delivered 6 lb 8 oz baby boy

The nurse-midwife’s assessment is:

A

Small for gestational age (SGA), probably constitutionally small fetus.

23
Q

Maternal thyroxine (T4) is important for fetal brain development at what stage of pregnancy?

A

throughout the entire pregnancy.

24
Q

During the physical exam of a 32-year-old G4P2013 at 10 weeks gestation, a slight enlargement of a smooth thyroid is noted. Upon questioning she admits to feeling fatigued and constipated but denies cold or heat intolerance, muscle cramps, unusual weight gain, hair loss, or palpitations. Based on these findings what would the nurse-midwives include in the assessment (A) and management plan (P)?

A

A: normal thyroid variation; thyroid disorder risk factors ; P: order thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

25
Q

Changes in thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy include

A

decreasing thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels during the first trimester when human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) levels are high.

26
Q

How does fasting blood glucose change in a healthy pregnant patient compared to a healthy non-pregnant person?

A

It is LOWER (15-20 mg/dL lower)

27
Q

T/F: The purpse of early DM screening is to identify undiagnosed pre-gestational DM.

A

True (For example DM II)

28
Q

What practice cut-off values do you use for 50g, 1-hour GTT test?

A

Either 130, 135, or 140.

Lower cut off will have higher false positive and higher cut off will have higher false negative.

29
Q

What education should be provided to a patient when ordering a 3h GTT?

A

It will be fasting test. Do not eat after midnight and eat high protein diet the day before. You will have your blood drawn when you arrive, drink the glucola and then your blood drawn every hour for the following three hours. It can make you nauseous and eating high protein foods the day before can help. If your blood sugar comes back elevated, you will be diagnosed with diabetes.

30
Q

When does the 3h GTT not need to be done to diagnose GDM?

A

When the screening results in a blood sugar >200

31
Q

How many elevated values of the 3h GTT is required to diagnose a patien with GDM when using either the C/C or NDDG?

A

Two or more elevated values is diagnostic fo GDM

32
Q

What is an appropriate timeframe for diet and lifestyle management before initiation of pharm intervention with elevated blood sugars?

A

3-5 weeks after diagnosis

33
Q

What is considered first-line pharm treatment for GDM?

A

Insulin
Note: if a patient has concerns about insulin or cannot give it to themselves safety then metformin is a good 2nd choice

34
Q

Does insulin cross the placenta?

A

No

35
Q

Do metformin and glyburide cross the placenta?

A

Yes

36
Q

What is a normal AFI?

A

6-24

37
Q

What is a normal SDP level?

A

2-8

38
Q

Based on ACOG’s recommendations, when should the timing of delivery occur for pregnant clients with GDM that is managed with diet and exercise?

A

Up to 40 6/7

39
Q

T/F: According to ACOG, a client WITH GDM should be offered a C/S if the EFW is 4,500g+

A

True

40
Q

What is the EFW where patient WITHOUT GDM should be offered a C/S?

A

5,000g+

41
Q
