Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A fetal fibronectin test may be ordered to assess the presence of preterm labor in patients whose presenting symptoms are questionable so that early intervention (e.g., tocolytic therapy, corticosteroids, transport to a tertiary center) can be initiated when indicated. Sonograms determine the presence and viability of a fetus. Amniocentesis determines genetic problems in a fetus. Doppler determines circulation in the vascular system of the mother or the baby.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Erythromycin or tetracyclines are the drugs of choice because they prevent neonatal conjunctivitis from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and chlamydial ophthalmia neonatorum from Chlamydia trachomatis. Silver nitrate is an outdated treatment for neonatal ocular infections. Dexamethasone is given for lung development. Vitamin K is given for treatment of hemorrhage.
