    A 22 year-old primigravid patient with a fetus estimated to weigh 3400 grams receives epidural anesthesia at 6cm dilation. An arrest of dilation ensues and she is treated with oxytocin augmentation. At full dilation the fetal position is occiput posterior with a -1 station. Pitocin is continued resulting in contractions that occur every 2 minutes and last a full minute. She is pushing with each contraction and the fetal monitor tracing is category I. Three hours later the presentation and station are unchanged but caput and molding of the fetal head is at a +2 station. The next best step in management is?

    • Allow the patient to continue pushing and completely discontinue epidural

    • Insert an intrauterine pressure catheter and calculate montevideo units (MVUs)

    • Arrange for operative vaginal delivery using vacuum device

    • Arrange for primary cesarean delivery

    • Increase oxytocin with close monitoring of fetal monitor strip

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrange for primary cesarean delivery
    Explanation
    The next best step in management is to arrange for a primary cesarean delivery. This is because the patient has been pushing for three hours without any progress in fetal position or station. Additionally, there is caput and molding of the fetal head at a +2 station, indicating prolonged and difficult labor. These factors suggest that a vaginal delivery may not be successful and could lead to complications for both the mother and the baby. Therefore, a primary cesarean delivery is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.

    The stage of labor that begins when cervical dilation is complete and ends with the delivery of the fetus is which of the following?

    • First stage

    • Second stage

    • Third stage

    • Fourth stage

    • Second (latent)and third (active) stage

    Correct Answer
    A. Second stage
    Explanation
    The second stage of labor begins when cervical dilation is complete and ends with the delivery of the fetus. This stage is characterized by strong contractions and the descent of the baby through the birth canal. It is during this stage that the mother actively pushes to help deliver the baby.

    A 25 year-old, G2P1, presents at 41 weeks gestation. Her cervix is unfavorable with a Bishop score of 3. You counsel her on induction of labor and the use of intravaginal misoprostil (Cytotec) as preinduction cervical ripening agent. The most common complication of this agent is?

    • Chorioamnionitis

    • Uterine tachysystole

    • Chemical vaginitis

    • Maternal nausea and vomiting

    • Vaginal bleeding

    Correct Answer
    A. Uterine tachysystole
    Explanation
    Uterine tachysystole is the most common complication of intravaginal misoprostol (Cytotec) as a preinduction cervical ripening agent. Uterine tachysystole refers to excessive uterine contractions that occur too frequently, last too long, or are too intense. This can lead to decreased blood flow to the placenta, which can result in fetal distress. It is important to monitor the patient closely for signs of uterine tachysystole and adjust the dosage or discontinue the medication if necessary. Other complications listed, such as chorioamnionitis, chemical vaginitis, maternal nausea and vomiting, and vaginal bleeding, are less commonly associated with the use of misoprostol.

    Delaying cord clamping after delivery by 3 minutes has been encouraged by some because it provides an additionasl 80 mg of blood to the neonate. The possible disadvantage of this includes which of the following?

    • Exsanguination

    • Hyperbilirubinemia

    • Hypoglycemia

    • Meconium Aspiration syndrome

    • Postpartum uterine atony and hemorrhage

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyperbilirubinemia
    Explanation
    Delaying cord clamping after delivery by 3 minutes can lead to hyperbilirubinemia in the neonate. Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition characterized by an excessive amount of bilirubin in the blood, which can cause jaundice. Delaying cord clamping allows more blood to flow from the placenta to the neonate, increasing the amount of bilirubin that needs to be processed by the newborn's liver. This can result in a buildup of bilirubin and subsequent hyperbilirubinemia.

    Compared with mediolateral episiotomy, the main drawback of midline epsiotomy is which of the following?

    • Surgical repair is more difficult

    • It is more likely to extend into a fourth degree laceration

    • It is more likely to break down

    • There is decrease blood loss

    • Less pleasing cosmetic result.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is more likely to extend into a fourth degree laceration
    Explanation
    The main drawback of midline episiotomy is that it is more likely to extend into a fourth degree laceration. This means that the incision made during the episiotomy can potentially tear further, leading to a more severe injury. This can result in complications and a longer healing process for the patient.

    • Prostaglandin PG F2 Alpha

    • Leukotriene (LTC4)

    • Thromboxane (TXA2)

    • Ergot Alkaloid

    Correct Answer
    A. Prostaglandin PG F2 Alpha
    Explanation
    Hemabate (Carboprost) is a uterotonic medication commonly used to treat postpartum atony, which is the failure of the uterus to contract after childbirth. It is categorized as a prostaglandin and more specifically contains Prostaglandin PG F2 Alpha. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that play a role in various physiological processes, including uterine contractions. Prostaglandin PG F2 Alpha helps to stimulate uterine contractions and reduce bleeding after childbirth.

    The following diagram demonstrates a vaginal laceration  that occurs in about 1-2% of vaginal deliveries? It is associated with all of the following EXCEPT?

    • Primiparity

    • Macrosomia

    • Vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC)

    • Operative vaginal delivery

    • Persistent occiput posterior position

    Correct Answer
    A. Vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC)
    Explanation
    Vaginal laceration during childbirth is a common complication that occurs in about 1-2% of vaginal deliveries. It is associated with several factors, including primiparity (being a first-time mother), macrosomia (having a large baby), operative vaginal delivery (using instruments to assist in delivery), and persistent occiput posterior position (the baby's head facing the mother's abdomen). However, vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) is not associated with an increased risk of vaginal laceration.

    A 33 year-old, G2P2, present to your office with post-coital bleeding. Pelvic examination is unremarkable including speculum and bimanual examination. You perform a pap smear. Which of the following may also be reasonable in the evaluation of this patient's complaint?

    • Colposcopy

    • LEEP procedure of the cervix

    • Cystoscopy

    • Proctoscopy

    • CT Scan or MRI of the pelvis

    Correct Answer
    A. Colposcopy
    Explanation
    Colposcopy may be reasonable in the evaluation of this patient's complaint of post-coital bleeding. Colposcopy is a procedure that allows for a closer examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a special magnifying instrument called a colposcope. It can help identify any abnormal areas or lesions that may be causing the bleeding. This procedure is often performed when a pap smear shows abnormal results or when there are other concerning findings during a pelvic examination. It can provide more detailed information about the cause of the bleeding and guide further management or treatment options.

    A 32 year-old primigravid woman present at 39 weeks gestation with frequent uterine contractions and pain over the past 6 hours. On repeated examinations, the cervix is 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced with the fetal vertex at a -3 station. The fetal heart rate tracing is reassuring. The best next step in management is....?

    • Oxytocin administration

    • Expectant Management

    • Artificial rupture of membranes

    • Initiate oxytocin induction

    • Offer elective primary cesarean section delivery

    Correct Answer
    A. Expectant Management
    Explanation
    In this scenario, the woman is at 39 weeks gestation with frequent uterine contractions and pain, but the cervix is only 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced with the fetal vertex at a -3 station. The fetal heart rate tracing is reassuring, indicating that the baby is tolerating the contractions well. Given these findings, expectant management is the best next step. This means that the woman should be monitored closely for progress in labor, with continued assessment of cervical dilation and fetal well-being. Oxytocin administration, artificial rupture of membranes, and initiating oxytocin induction are all interventions that may be considered if there is inadequate progress in labor. Offering elective primary cesarean section delivery is not indicated based on the information provided.

    All of the following agents are classified as Selective Estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) EXCEPT?

    • Raloxifene (Evista ®)

    • Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid®)

    • Tamoxifene (Nolvadex®)

    • Letrozole (Femora®)

    • Ospemifene (Osphena®)

    Correct Answer
    A. Letrozole (Femora®)
    Explanation
    Letrozole (Femora®) is not classified as a Selective Estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) because it is an aromatase inhibitor, not a modulator of estrogen receptors. SERMs, on the other hand, selectively modulate estrogen receptors in different tissues, acting as estrogen agonists or antagonists depending on the specific tissue. Raloxifene, Clomiphene Citrate, Tamoxifene, and Ospemifene are all examples of SERMs as they interact with estrogen receptors in various tissues, exerting estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects.

    A 19 year-old presents for annual examination and desire for contraception. She describes cyclic periods that occur monthly and last 5 days. You start her on combination oral contraceptive pills (COCs) and she returns to your office in 3 months complaining of light but irregular bleeding since starting her pills. What is the best plan of care in this case?

    • Based on her symptoms and concerns switch her to a progestin only contraceptive agent

    • Provide her with counseling and reassurance and continue her current COCs

    • Her symptoms likely reflect endomyometrial pathology and ultrasound and/or SIS should be considered

    • Hormonal inbalance that requires use of a higher dose pill and/or different progestational agent

    • Although only 19, based on symptoms, perform pap and reflex HPV testing to exclude cervical neoplasm

    Correct Answer
    A. Provide her with counseling and reassurance and continue her current COCs
    Explanation
    The best plan of care in this case is to provide the patient with counseling and reassurance and continue her current combination oral contraceptive pills (COCs). This is because her symptoms of light but irregular bleeding are common side effects of starting COCs and usually resolve within the first few months. It is important to reassure the patient and provide counseling about the expected side effects of COCs. Switching her to a progestin-only contraceptive agent or considering endomyometrial pathology or hormonal imbalance would not be necessary at this point. Performing a pap and reflex HPV testing to exclude cervical neoplasm is also not indicated based on her symptoms.

    All of the following central pathophysiologic mechanism have been implicated as a potential cause of vasomotor symptoms EXCEPT?

    • Serotonergic

    • Autonomic

    • Noradrenergic

    • Thermoregulation

    • Neurogenic

    Correct Answer
    A. Neurogenic
    Explanation
    Neurogenic mechanisms have not been implicated as a potential cause of vasomotor symptoms. Vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, are commonly associated with hormonal changes during menopause. Serotonergic, autonomic, noradrenergic, and thermoregulation mechanisms have all been linked to vasomotor symptoms. However, there is limited evidence supporting a direct role of neurogenic mechanisms in causing these symptoms.

    In regards to complementary botanicals and similar products used for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms which of the following statements is true?

    • Most of the complementary therapies that have been marketed for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms are approved and well tested by the FDA in regards to efficacy and safety.

    • A cochrane database meta-analysis confirmed significant benefit with the use of phytoestrogens when adminitistered in high doses only

    • Specific products found to offer the greatest benefit in managing vasomotor symptoms include Ginseng and Saint John's Wort.

    • Black Cohosh has demonstrated potential benefit in managing vasomotor symptoms but has also been shown to cause liver toxicity.

    • Lifestyle modification including optimization of diet and weight bearing exercise has shown good benefit in managing the frequency and intensity of vasomotor symptoms.

    Correct Answer
    A. Black Cohosh has demonstrated potential benefit in managing vasomotor symptoms but has also been shown to cause liver toxicity.
    Explanation
    Black Cohosh has demonstrated potential benefit in managing vasomotor symptoms but has also been shown to cause liver toxicity. This statement is true because Black Cohosh has been studied for its effectiveness in treating vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats. It has shown potential benefits in reducing these symptoms. However, it has also been associated with liver toxicity, which means that it can cause damage to the liver. Therefore, while it may be effective in managing vasomotor symptoms, caution should be exercised when using Black Cohosh due to its potential side effects on the liver.

    Which of the following hormones does not decrease significantly in the first two years after a woman goes through menopause?

    • Thyroxin (T4)

    • Prolactin

    • Testosterone

    • Progesterone

    • 17-Beta-estradiol

    Correct Answer
    A. Testosterone
    Explanation
    Testosterone does not decrease significantly in the first two years after a woman goes through menopause. While the levels of other hormones such as thyroxin, prolactin, progesterone, and 17-Beta-estradiol decrease after menopause, testosterone levels remain relatively stable. This is because testosterone is produced by the ovaries as well as the adrenal glands, and the adrenal glands continue to produce testosterone even after menopause. Therefore, testosterone levels do not experience the same significant decline as other hormones during this period.

    A 37 year-old G3P3, present for metrorrhagia that has been present for 6 months. She is not interested in hormonal therapy and has been trying to conceive over that time period. She undergoes a sonohysterogram (SIS) in the office which demonstrates the following finding. You counsel the patient on the benefits of surgical management. The patient is best counselled to undergo what procedure?

    • Dilation and curettage under ultrasound guidance

    • Hysteroscopy, operative myomectomy, and dilation and curettage

    • Hysteroscopy, myomectomy, and endometrial ablation

    • Hysterescopy, polypectomy, and dilation and curettage

    • Laparoscopic/Robotic myomectomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Hysteroscopy, operative myomectomy, and dilation and curettage
    Explanation
    The patient is best counseled to undergo hysteroscopy, operative myomectomy, and dilation and curettage. This is because the sonohysterogram shows a finding that suggests the presence of uterine fibroids, which could be causing the metrorrhagia. Hysteroscopy allows for direct visualization and removal of the fibroids, while operative myomectomy involves removing the fibroids surgically. Dilation and curettage may also be performed to remove any remaining tissue or address any other uterine abnormalities. This combination of procedures would address the underlying cause of the metrorrhagia and also improve the patient's chances of conceiving.

    Which of the following is a physiologic change associated with an intravenous bolus of oxytocin?

    • Increase blood pressure

    • Decreased cardiac output

    • Increased heart rate

    • Increased body temperature

    • Decrease in oxygenation

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased heart rate
    Explanation
    An intravenous bolus of oxytocin is known to stimulate the release of oxytocin receptors in the heart, leading to an increase in heart rate. Oxytocin is a hormone that plays a role in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular regulation. When administered intravenously, oxytocin can have a direct effect on the heart, causing an increase in heart rate. This is a physiologic change that is associated with the administration of oxytocin.

    The mechanisms that normally stop menstrual blood loss include all of the following EXCEPT? 

    • Localized vasoconstriction

    • Formation of platelet plug

    • Vascular fibrin disposition

    • Fibrinolysis

    • Myometrial contractions

    Correct Answer
    A. Myometrial contractions
    Explanation
    Myometrial contractions are not a mechanism that normally stops menstrual blood loss. During menstruation, the myometrium, which is the muscular layer of the uterus, relaxes to allow the shedding of the endometrial lining. It is the other mechanisms mentioned, such as localized vasoconstriction, formation of platelet plug, vascular fibrin disposition, and fibrinolysis, that help to stop menstrual blood loss by promoting clotting and closing off blood vessels.
