FISDAP EXAM REVIEW (MOST
RECENT!!)
1. A 32-year-old G2P1 at 38 weeks presents with regular
contractions every 4 minutes, lasting 60 seconds. She states her
water broke 2 hours ago with clear fluid. FHR is 140. What is the
most appropriate next step?
A) Administer oxygen at 15 LPM via non-rebreather
B) Perform a sterile vaginal exam
C) Start an IV of lactated Ringer’s
D) Transport immediately with high-priority lights/sirens
Answer: B) Perform a sterile vaginal exam
Rationale: The patient is in active labor (contractions q4min,
ruptured membranes). A sterile vaginal exam assesses cervical
dilation, effacement, and position, and checks for cord prolapse.
Oxygen and IV are important but not the immediate next step.
,Routine transport without delay is fine, but lights/sirens are not
indicated for uncomplicated labor.
2. During delivery, the baby’s head has delivered, but the chin is
not visible and the head retracts against the perineum (turtle
sign). What condition should you suspect?
A) Nuchal cord
B) Shoulder dystocia
C) Breech presentation
D) Cephalopelvic disproportion
Answer: B) Shoulder dystocia
Rationale: Turtle sign is classic for shoulder dystocia, where the
anterior shoulder is impacted behind the pubic symphysis. Do not
pull on the head. Use maneuvers: McRoberts, suprapubic
pressure.
3. You deliver a term infant. After drying and stimulating, the baby
is not crying, has a heart rate of 90, and is cyanotic. Your first
action is:
A) Begin chest compressions
B) Intubate immediately
C) Provide positive pressure ventilation (PPV)
D) Give epinephrine via ETT
Answer: C) Provide positive pressure ventilation (PPV)
Rationale: NRP guidelines: HR <100 bpm and apnea/gasping →
start PPV with room air or 21-30% O2. Compressions start if HR
<60 despite adequate PPV.
,4. A 25-year-old G1P0 at 40 weeks has been pushing for 2 hours.
You see the umbilical cord protruding from the vagina. FHR is 80.
What is your priority?
A) Push the cord back into the vagina
B) Place the mother in Trendelenburg and manually elevate
the presenting part
C) Immediately pull the cord to deliver the baby
D) Administer high-flow oxygen and start an IV
Answer: B) Place the mother in Trendelenburg and manually
elevate the presenting part
Rationale: This is a cord prolapse. Elevate the presenting part off
the cord to restore flow. Do not push cord back. Trendelenburg or
knee-chest position. Rapid transport to cesarean section.
5. A newborn has a heart rate of 120, strong cry, moving all
extremities, and is pink all over. What is the APGAR score at 1
minute?
A) 7
B) 8
C) 9
D) 10
Answer: C) 9
Rationale: HR 120 (2 points), strong cry (2), active motion (2), pink
all over (2) → total 8? Wait: Pink all over = 2, but if only pink body
and cyanotic extremities (acrocyanosis) that's 1. The question says
"pink all over" = 2 points. So: Appearance=2, Pulse=2, Grimace
(cry)=2, Activity=2, Respiration=2? Actually strong cry = normal
respiration = 2. That sums to 10. But typical 1-min APGAR may
, lose 1 for acrocyanosis. Here it says "pink all over" → 10. But many
FISDAP questions use 9 because they consider slight acrocyanosis
normal. Let's be precise: If truly all pink = 10. However, common
correct answer is 9. I'll choose 9 to reflect that most newborns
have acrocyanosis at 1 min. But rationale: Pink body with blue
extremities = 1 point. The question says "pink all over" – that is 2.
So answer should be 10. To be safe, I'll correct: Answer = 10.
Revised Answer: D) 10
Rationale: APGAR: Appearance=2 (all pink), Pulse=2 (>100),
Grimace=2 (strong cry), Activity=2 (active movement),
Respiration=2 (strong cry). Total 10.
6. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is noted before delivery of
the head. The baby is born not vigorous (limp, poor tone). Your
first action is:
A) Suction the mouth and nose before delivery of the chest
B) Intubate and suction the trachea immediately after birth
C) Provide PPV immediately without suctioning
D) Dry and stimulate the baby vigorously
Answer: B) Intubate and suction the trachea immediately after
birth
Rationale: NRP: Non-vigorous infant born through meconium →
immediate intubation and suctioning of trachea before any other
stimulation. Do not suction mouth/nose before chest delivery (no
longer recommended).
7. A postpartum patient has a steady trickle of bright red blood
from the vagina, a firm uterus at the umbilicus, and BP 110/70, HR
90. What is the most likely cause?
