OB Test collaboration Flashcards
In the breech fetus with the transverse spine and orientation marker to the right of the monitor, the fetus is lying _________________
on its right side
When the fetus is vertex and the transverse spine is on the left side of the monitor, the fetus is lying_____________________
on its right side
_________________refers to when the head is down towards the cervix.
vertex
_____________________ breech refers to when the buttocks present first (toward the cervix) and both hips and knees are flexed.
complete
_______________ or “footling” breech indicates the fetus has one foot or both feet down (towards the cervix), so it’s legs are poised to deliver first.
incomplete
A fetus positioned wit the cranium in the superior uterus, rump in the inferior uterus, and spine at the maternal right uterus is labeled:
breech with fetus lying on its right side facing maternal right
Choose the position that is the same as a cephalic presentation.
vertex
Ipsilateral means:
on the same side
The inability of some females to lay supine during weeks 20 - term pregnancy because of a hypotensive state is known as:
aortocaval compression syndrome
A ___________ transducer may provide optimal images well into the third trimester on a thin patient.
5 MHz
A sonographer can adjust power levels adn minimize patient exposure to diagnostic ultrasound by knowing and watching the ultrasound system __________________ levels.
mechanical and thermal indices
A correctly filled bladder allows for imaging of the ________________ and lower placental edge.
cervix
implantation of the placenta in the lower part of the uterus covering the internal cervical os, thus delivering before the fetus
placenta previa
an implantation of a fertilized ovum in any area outside the endometrial cavity
ectopic pregnancy
The output power indication of the amount of acoustic power it takes to raise the temperature of tissue by 1 degree celsius
thermal indices
entrapment of the umbilical cord between the presenting fetal part and the cervix
vasa previa
the amount of transmitted energy by the ultrasound beam. The higher the frequency, the lower the index, thus, the lower the frequency, the higher the index
mechanial indices
compression of the aorta and inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus resulting in symptoms of nausea, hypotension, lightheadedness, and syncope
aortocaval compression syndrome
A sonographer can minimize thermal effects by which one of the following?
a. not staying in one spot to long
b. placing the focus of the beam in the near field
c. scanning over fetal bone
d. increasing acoustic output
a
A sonogram at 8 weeks of gestation demonstrates a cystic area within the posterior cranium. This appearance most likely represents which one of the following?
a. abnormal mesencephalon
b. normal rhombencephalon
c. abnormal rhombencephalon
d. normal prosencephalon
b
In early pregnancy, the gestational sac size grows at a rate of ___________ mm/day.
1-2
In the first trimester, herniated bowel will return within the abdominal cavity by the ____________ week.
12th
The blastocyst typically enters the uterus ___________ days after fertilization.
6-8
The crown-rump length measurement is considered most accurate through the _________ gestational week.
12th
