Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
With a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, the woman is at high risk for hemorrhage. Jaundice, edema, and infection are not associated with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Feedback:
Prior to using forceps for a delivery, the cervix must be fully dilated, the patient's bladder must be empty, and the patient's membranes must have ruptured. The patient does not need oxygen for a forceps delivery. The patient does not need an intravenous infusion prior to a forceps delivery.
