Q

In healthy pregnancies, elevated white blood cell counts are often observed because the lifetime of white blood cells increase in pregnancy.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;

18
Q

The occurrence of glycosuria is always abnormal in pregnancy because the higher amount of glucose eliminated due to the increased GFR cannot be reabsorbed in the tubules.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true

19
Q

Maternal blood pressure increases in the first half of pregnancy because the cardiac output is increased by nearly 20% at the end of the first trimester related to the pre-pregnancy value.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true

20
Q

The circadian rhythm of blood pressure often changes in pregnancy because when the pregnant woman lays back the uterus compresses the vena cava inferior and prevent the flow in the pelvic veins.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;

D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;

22
Q

B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;

23
Q

The metabolism increases in pregnancy because reduced insulin resistance characterizes pregnancy.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;

24
Q

Many pregnant women complain of heartburn because in pregnancy gastric tone reduction leads to gastric acid regurgitation in the lower esophagus and causes chemical oesophagitis.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
E) both the statement and the explanation are false

A

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;

25
Q

The metabolism increases in pregnancy because the thyroid function is increased and also the oxygen demand of the maternal and fetal tissues is elevated.

A) both the statement and the explanation are true and a causal relationship exists between them;
B) both the statement and the explanation are true but there is no causal relationship between them;
C) the statement is true, but the explanation is false;
D) the statement is false, but the explanation itself is true
