Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
: Ortolani and Barlow signs are used to assess for the presence of hip dysplasia. These techniques assess for hip clicking and femoral head slipping. These signs are not used to assess for club foot, cleft palate, or tracheoesophageal fistula.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Uterine rupture is associated with crack cocaine use, and generally the first and most reliable sign is sudden fetal distress accompanied by acute abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, hematuria, irregular wall contour, and loss of station in the fetal presenting part. Amniotic fluid embolism often is manifested with a sudden onset of respiratory distress. Shoulder dystocia is noted when continued fetal descent is obstructed after the fetal head is delivered. Umbilical cord prolapse is noted as the protrusion of the cord alongside or ahead of the presenting part of the fetus.
