Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) can be managed

The first option is to repeat cytology in one year and perform colposcopy if follow-
up smears are abnormal.
The second option (preferred) is to perform an HPV test and return for testing in 3
years if it is negative or perform colposcopy if HPV test is positive
If pt has positive hpv test and colposcopy is negative then whats the next step
pt will need repeat HPV test in 3 yrs.
the most common cause of a protraction disorder is
inadequate uterine activity.
,is the position in which the fetal biparietal diameter fits best in the average female
pelvis.
right occiput anterior
Some examples of malpresentation are
an extended fetal head, brow or face presentation, and occiput posterior.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
a life threatening neurological emergency. As indicated by the name, it is most
commonly associated with neuroleptic medications such as haloperidol,
chlorpromazine, risperidone, etc. Symptoms include extreme muscular rigidity,
mental status changes, hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, and profuse
diaphoresis
Although malignant hyperthermia has a very similar clinical presentation to NMS,
it is more common in the setting of
inhaled halogen anesthetic use, such as halothane.

Patients who are stable with no hepatic or renal impairment who will be able to
follow-up can be offered for treatment of an ectopic pregnancy.
