Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The vacuum extractor is a small cup-shaped device that is applied to the scalp.
Rationale 2: Vacuum extraction is an assistive delivery, and the patient must continue with pushing efforts to accomplish the birth.
Rationale 3: The vacuum extractor might leave a bruise on the scalp where the device is placed.
Rationale 4: The vacuum extractor is applied to the scalp for up to 10 minutes total.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Use of the vacuum extraction for eight contractions is too many and can create damage to the fetal head. If fetal descent does not occur with the first two pulls, the procedure should be discontinued, and cesarean birth should take place.
Rationale 2: This is a cephalohematoma and is a complication of vacuum extraction birth.
Rationale 3: Caput in the shape of the vacuum cup is usually present immediately after birth and resolves in 23 days.
Rationale 4: Negative pressure is suction, which is needed to use the vacuum extractor to facilitate birth.
