Explanation

Gravida refers to the number of pregnancies a woman has had, regardless of the outcome (whether it resulted in a live birth, stillbirth, or abortion). It is a medical term used to track and record a woman's obstetric history. The term "gravida" does not specifically indicate the number of births, deaths, or sexual partners a woman has had, but rather focuses on the number of times she has been pregnant.

Explanation

Preeclampsia is a condition that occurs during pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure and swelling due to fluid retention. It is caused by various factors, including poor diet and excessive intake of fatty foods. Preeclampsia can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby if left untreated, as it can lead to complications such as organ damage and restricted blood flow to the placenta. Therefore, the given symptoms of swelling and high blood pressure in a pregnant woman are indicative of preeclampsia.

12. A woman experiencing supine hypotensive syndrome should be

Explanation

When a woman is experiencing supine hypotensive syndrome, it means that lying flat on her back can cause compression of the inferior vena cava by the weight of the uterus, leading to decreased blood return to the heart and a drop in blood pressure. By sitting upright, the pressure of the infant on the superior vena cava is reduced, allowing for better blood flow and preventing a decrease in blood pressure.

Explanation

A patient who is pregnant and complaining of painless vaginal bleeding is likely experiencing placenta previa. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, leading to bleeding during pregnancy. This condition is characterized by painless bleeding and can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. It requires medical attention and careful monitoring throughout the pregnancy.

18. Maternal blood volume increases by...%

Explanation

During pregnancy, the maternal blood volume increases by approximately 45%. This increase is necessary to support the growing fetus and provide oxygen and nutrients. The body produces more blood to meet the demands of the developing placenta and to compensate for the increased workload on the heart. The expansion of blood volume helps to prevent complications such as low blood pressure and inadequate blood flow to the uterus.

Submit
19. Para means

Explanation

The term "para" refers to the number of births a person has had. It is commonly used in medical and obstetric contexts to describe the number of times a woman has given birth, including both live births and stillbirths. It helps healthcare professionals assess a person's reproductive history and make informed decisions regarding their care.

Submit
20. A pregnant woman begins to seize what is likely the cause

Explanation

Eclampsia is the likely cause of a pregnant woman experiencing seizures. Eclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and seizures. It typically occurs after the development of pre-eclampsia, a condition marked by high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys. If left untreated, pre-eclampsia can progress to eclampsia, leading to seizures that can be life-threatening for both the mother and the baby. Therefore, given the symptoms described, eclampsia is the most probable cause.

25. A pregnant woman is in an automobile accident and is bleeding from her vagina this is likely to cause 

Explanation

In the given scenario, a pregnant woman who is bleeding from her vagina is likely experiencing a ruptured uterus. This condition occurs when the wall of the uterus tears, leading to severe bleeding. It is usually caused by trauma, such as an automobile accident. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, placenta previa is the abnormal positioning of the placenta, and abruptio placentae is the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus. However, in this case, the symptoms described point towards a ruptured uterus.

Explanation

During an explosion, the contractions refer to the rhythmic tightening and releasing of the muscles in the body. The correct answer states that the contractions are 60-90 seconds long and occur 2 to 3 minutes apart. This means that the contractions last for a minute to a minute and a half and there is a gap of 2 to 3 minutes between each contraction. This pattern is typical of contractions during labor, where the muscles of the uterus contract and then relax to help push the baby out.
