1. A nurse practitioner is counseling a 26-year-old woman planning pregnancy.
Which supplement is most important to begin prior to conception to prevent
neural tube defects?
A. Iron
B. Vitamin D
C. Calcium
D. Folic acid
Rationale: Folic acid supplementation (400–800 mcg daily) before conception and
during early pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects such as
spina bifida and anencephaly.
, 2. During the first prenatal visit, which laboratory test is essential for
identifying Rh incompatibility risk?
A. Hemoglobin electrophoresis
B. Blood type and Rh factor
C. Rubella titer
D. Hepatitis B surface antigen
Rationale: Determining maternal ABO blood type and Rh factor is essential early
in pregnancy to identify Rh-negative mothers who may require Rho(D) immune
globulin.
3. A pregnant patient at 8 weeks gestation reports nausea and vomiting but is
able to maintain hydration. What is the first-line management?
A. Ondansetron therapy
B. IV hydration
C. Dietary modification with small frequent meals
D. Metoclopramide
Rationale: Mild nausea and vomiting of pregnancy are initially managed with
dietary changes such as small frequent meals, avoiding triggers, and consuming
bland foods.
4. Which physiologic change in pregnancy contributes most significantly to
decreased systemic vascular resistance?
, A. Increased estrogen
B. Progesterone-induced smooth muscle relaxation
C. Increased cardiac output
D. Increased aldosterone secretion
Rationale: Progesterone causes smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation,
leading to decreased systemic vascular resistance.
5. Fundal height measurement typically corresponds with gestational age in
weeks beginning at:
A. 10 weeks
B. 14 weeks
C. 20 weeks
D. 28 weeks
Rationale: After 20 weeks gestation, fundal height in centimeters generally
approximates gestational age in weeks.
6. Which infection during pregnancy is most strongly associated with
congenital cataracts and sensorineural hearing loss in the fetus?
A. Toxoplasmosis
B. Cytomegalovirus
C. Rubella
D. Varicella
, Rationale: Congenital rubella syndrome commonly causes cataracts, cardiac
defects, and hearing loss.
7. A pregnant patient at 28 weeks with Rh-negative blood type and negative
antibody screen should receive:
A. Rhogam postpartum only
B. Rho(D) immune globulin at 28 weeks
C. Rhogam only if fetus is Rh positive
D. No treatment
Rationale: Standard prophylaxis includes Rho(D) immune globulin at 28 weeks
and again postpartum if the newborn is Rh-positive.
8. Which maternal hormone maintains the corpus luteum in early pregnancy?
A. Estrogen
B. Progesterone
C. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
D. Prolactin
Rationale: hCG maintains the corpus luteum during early pregnancy to ensure
continued progesterone production.
9. A pregnant patient with urinary frequency and dysuria is diagnosed with
asymptomatic bacteriuria on screening. Why must it be treated?
