●● Pregnancy outcomes of women with renal disease most relates to
a. etiology of renal disease
b. degree of renal insufficiency
c. length of time since onset of the disease.
Answer: B-regardless of etiology of the renal disease in pregnancy, the
two factors that most influence pregnancy outcomes is the degree of
renal insufficiency and the presence of hypertension.
●● Untreated maternal thyrotoxicosis can lead to
a. congenital anomalies
b. neonatal hypothyroidism
c. preterm delivery.
Answer: C-If a woman with hypothyroidism or thyrotoxicosis is not
treated during pregnancy, there is a high incidence of preterm delivery,
, low birth weight and still births. Congenital anomalies are not common.
Hypothyroidism may result in the neonate due to the thyroid
medications not the maternal disease.

pregnancy can predispose the fetus to
a. chromosomal damage
b. embryonic growth delays
c. teratogenic effects.
Answer: C-Preconception counseling and early prenatal care are
essential for women with diabetes when contemplating childbirth.
Uncontrolled glucose levels early in pregnancy can lead to
organogenesis and the development of congenital anomalies.
●● Infants with fetal alchohol syndrome demonstrate tremors, irritability
and hypertonus due to
a. central nervous system injury
b. interferance with protein synthesis
c. withdrawal from alcohol.
Answer: C-Infants born with fetal alcohol syndrome usually presents
