Concerning the several hemorrhagic complications that may present during pregnancy, nurses should know that:
 
  1. an incompetent cervix is usually not diagnosed until the woman has lost one or two pregnancies.
  2. the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is declining as a result of improved diagnostic techniques.
  3. one ectopic pregnancy does not affect a woman's fertility or her likelihood of having a normal pregnancy the next time.
  4. gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is one of the persistently incurable gy-necologic malignancies.

Question 2

Concerning miscarriage, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. it is a natural pregnancy loss before labor begins.
  2. it occurs in less than 5 of all clinically recognized pregnancies.
  3. it can often be attributed to careless maternal behavior such as poor nutrition or excessive exercise.
  4. if it occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy, it may only manifest itself in moderate discomfort and blood loss.

Answer to Question 1

1
1. Correct. Short labors and recurring loss of pregnancy at progressively earlier gestational ages are characteristics of reduced cervical competence.
2. Incorrect. Because diagnostic technology is improving more ectopic pregnancies are being diagnosed.
3. Incorrect. One ectopic pregnancy puts the woman at increased risk for another one. Ec-topic pregnancy is a leading cause of infertility.
4. Incorrect. Once invariably fatal, GTN is now the most curable gynecologic malignancy.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. Miscarriage is a natural pregnancy loss, but it occurs, by definition, before 20 weeks of gestation, before the fetus is viable.
2. Incorrect. Miscarriages occur in approximately 15 of all clinically recognized pregnan-cies.
3. Incorrect. Miscarriage can be caused by a number of disorders or illnesses outside the mother's control or knowledge.
4. Correct. Before the 6th week the only evidence might be a heavy menstrual flow. After the 12th week, more severe pain similar to that of labor is likely.
