Questions and Answers

1.

The umbilical cord normally inserts _____________ within the placenta.

Explanation
The umbilical cord normally inserts centrally within the placenta, meaning that it is attached to the middle or center of the placenta. This is the typical and expected location for the umbilical cord to be connected to the placenta, allowing for proper blood flow and nutrient exchange between the fetus and the mother.

Rate this question:

4
2.

Many conditions of umbilical cord insertion are not apparent before delivery.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because umbilical cord insertion conditions, such as velamentous cord insertion or marginal cord insertion, are not always visible or detectable before delivery. These conditions can only be confirmed through ultrasound or during the delivery process. Therefore, it is accurate to say that many conditions of umbilical cord insertion are not apparent before delivery.

Rate this question:
3.

______________ (marginal) placenta is when the cord inserts along the margin of the placenta and is usually of _______ clinical significance.

Correct Answer
battledore, no

Explanation
In a battledore placenta, the umbilical cord inserts along the margin of the placenta instead of the center. This condition is usually of no clinical significance, meaning it does not have any major impact on the health or well-being of the mother or baby.

4
4.

_________________ (membranous) cord insertion is when the cord inserts beyond the placental edge into the ___________ membranes of the placenta.

Correct Answer
Velamentous, free

Explanation
Velamentous cord insertion is a condition where the umbilical cord inserts into the membranes of the placenta rather than attaching directly to the placental edge. In this condition, the blood vessels of the umbilical cord are not protected by the Wharton's jelly and are vulnerable to compression or rupture. The term "free" refers to the absence of any abnormal cord insertion, indicating a normal attachment of the cord to the placental edge.

Rate this question:

4
5.

Prenatal identification of a _______________ insertion of the umbilical cord is a desirable clinical goal since these pregnancies have higher risks for adverse perinatal outcome.

Correct Answer
velamentous

Explanation
A velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord refers to a condition where the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes rather than attaching directly to the placenta. This condition is associated with higher risks for adverse perinatal outcomes. Therefore, prenatal identification of a velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord is considered a desirable clinical goal in order to monitor and manage these pregnancies more effectively and reduce the potential risks to the fetus.

Rate this question:

4
6.

Velamentous insertion may be complicated by ___________ of the umbilical vessels because they __________ (are or aren't) protected by Wharton's jelly

Correct Answer
rupture, aren't
rupture, are not

Explanation
Velamentous insertion refers to a condition where the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes instead of attaching directly to the placenta. In this condition, the umbilical vessels are not protected by Wharton's jelly, a gelatinous substance that surrounds and cushions the vessels in a normal insertion. Without this protection, the umbilical vessels are more vulnerable to rupture, leading to potential complications. Therefore, the correct answer is "rupture, aren't" or "rupture, are not".

Rate this question:

4
7.

Velamentous insertion is associated with ____________ and _____________ _____________.

Correct Answer
IUGR, vasa previa

Explanation
Velamentous insertion is a condition where the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes instead of attaching directly to the placenta. This abnormal insertion is associated with two complications: intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and vasa previa. IUGR refers to the poor growth of the fetus, leading to a smaller size than expected for the gestational age. Vasa previa, on the other hand, is a dangerous condition where fetal blood vessels cross the cervix, making them vulnerable to rupture during labor or delivery.

Rate this question:

4
8.

Risks of velamentous insertion- _______________ is vessels are torn. ____________ easily diagnosed on ultrasound.

Correct Answer
hemorrhage, not

Explanation
Velamentous insertion refers to the abnormal attachment of the umbilical cord to the fetal membranes rather than the placenta. This condition poses several risks, one of which is hemorrhage. When the umbilical vessels are not protected by the placenta, they are more susceptible to tearing, leading to bleeding. This can be a life-threatening situation for both the mother and the baby. However, velamentous insertion is not easily diagnosed on ultrasound, making it important for healthcare providers to be vigilant and consider this condition when there are signs of fetal distress or abnormal placental location.

Rate this question:

4
9.

A rare cord abnormality that is life threatening where the blood vessels of the umbilical cord cross the cervical os is known as _____________ ______________. This may be difficult to detect on routine obstetrical sonography but _______________ ______________ imaging can demonstrate it.

Correct Answer
vasa previa, color doppler

Explanation
Vasa previa is a rare cord abnormality where the blood vessels of the umbilical cord cross the cervical os, which can be life-threatening. It may not be easily detected on routine obstetrical sonography, but color Doppler imaging can demonstrate it.

Rate this question:

4
10.

With vasa previa, the _____________ _____________ is the presenting part.

Correct Answer
umbilical cord

Explanation
In cases of vasa previa, the umbilical cord is the presenting part. Vasa previa is a condition where the blood vessels of the umbilical cord or placenta cross or lie close to the cervical opening. This can be dangerous during labor as pressure or rupture of these vessels can lead to severe bleeding and harm to the baby. Therefore, identifying the umbilical cord as the presenting part is crucial in managing and delivering the baby safely.

Rate this question:

4
11.

With vasa previa, it is usually _______________, but possibly ______________ bleeding in ____________ and _____________ trimester.

Correct Answer
asymptomatic, painless, second, third
asymptomatic, painless, 2nd, 3rd

Explanation
Vasa previa is a condition where fetal blood vessels cross or run near the cervix. It is typically asymptomatic and painless, meaning that the affected individual may not experience any noticeable symptoms. This condition is most commonly observed in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Therefore, both options provided in the answer are correct and interchangeable, as they convey the same information.

Rate this question:

4
12.

Complications of vasa previa include lack of ____________ to the fetus due to compression of cord during ____________.

Correct Answer
oxygen, delivery

Explanation
Complications of vasa previa include lack of oxygen to the fetus due to compression of the cord during delivery. Vasa previa is a condition where the fetal blood vessels, unsupported by the placenta or umbilical cord, run across the cervix. This can lead to the vessels being compressed or ruptured during delivery, resulting in a lack of oxygen supply to the fetus.

Rate this question:

4
13.

Vasa previa Umbilical vessels may rupture during labor/delivery causing ____________ ______________.

Correct Answer
fetal demise

Explanation
During labor or delivery, if the umbilical vessels rupture, it can lead to fetal demise. This means that the baby's death can occur as a result of the rupture. The umbilical vessels are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus, so if they rupture, the baby may not receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients, leading to fetal demise.

Rate this question:

4
14.

Vasa Previa If undetected, the fetus will likely die at delivery from ruptured _____________ _____________ vessels or lack of ______________.

Correct Answer
umbilical cord, oxygen

Explanation
If undetected, the fetus will likely die at delivery from ruptured umbilical cord vessels or lack of oxygen. This is because the umbilical cord is responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. If the umbilical cord vessels rupture, the fetus will not receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients, leading to its death.

Rate this question:

4
15.

Vasa previa is associated with ______________ cord insertion

Correct Answer
velamentous

Explanation
Vasa previa is a condition where the fetal blood vessels, specifically the umbilical cord vessels, are not protected by the placental tissue and are instead located between the fetal membranes. This condition is associated with velamentous cord insertion, where the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes instead of directly into the placenta. This abnormal cord insertion increases the risk of the blood vessels being compressed or ruptured, leading to potential complications such as fetal hemorrhage.

25.

Prognosis depends on ___________ of omphalocele and presence of other ______________. Treatment is _______________ after birth.

Correct Answer
size, defects, surgery

Explanation
The prognosis of omphalocele depends on the size of the defect and the presence of other associated defects. The larger the size of the omphalocele, the higher the risk of complications and poorer prognosis. Additionally, the presence of other associated defects can also impact the prognosis. Treatment for omphalocele typically involves surgery after birth to repair the defect and ensure the proper development and function of the abdominal organs.
