Solid non-cancerous breast tumors that are firm, soft mobile lesions. Most common benign
breast neoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER=Fibroadenoma
What is the protocol to evaluate a fibroadenoma? - CORRECT ANSWER=Monitor
through an entire menstrual cycle to confirm persistence
What are absolute contraindications to exercise during pregnancy? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Hemodynamically significant heart disease,
restrictive lung disease, incompetent cervix/cerclage, multiple gestation at risk for
preterm labor, persistent 2nd or 3rd trimester bleeding, placenta précis after
26wks, premature labor, ruptured membranes, preeclampsia, and hypertension
