A precipitous labor and delivery is

• are younger than 30 years of age.
• have delivered a baby before.
• are pregnant for the first time.
• have delivered a baby before.

A pregnant trauma patient may lose a significant amount of blood before

showing signs of shock because:

• pregnant patients can dramatically

increase their heart rate.

• pregnancy causes vasodilation

and a lower blood pressure.

• pregnant patients have an overall

increase in blood volume.

• blood is shunted to the uterus and

fetus during major trauma.

• pregnant patients have an overall increase in

blood volume.After a baby is born, it is important

to:

• ensure that it is thoroughly dried

and warmed.

• position it so that its head is higher

than its body.

• cool the infant to stimulate

effective breathing.

• immediately clamp and cut the

umbilical cord.

• ensure that it is thoroughly dried and warmed.

An infant is considered to be

premature if it:

• is born before 38 weeks' gestation

or weighs less than 6 lb.

• weighs less than 5.5 lb or is born

before 37 weeks' gestation.

or weighs less than 7 lb.

• weighs less than 5 lb or is born

before 36 weeks' gestation.

Eclampsia is MOST accurately

defined as:

patient's urine.

• hypertension in the 20th week of

pregnancy.

hypertension.

• a blood pressure greater than

140/90 mm Hg.

• seizures that result from severe hypertension.

Fetal complications associated with drug- or alcohol-addicted mothers

include all of the following, EXCEPT:

• profound tachycardia.

In contrast to a full-term infant, a

premature infant:

• has an even proportionately

larger head.

• is often covered with excess vernix

material.

• is one who is born before 38

weeks' gestation.

• retains heat better because of

excess body hair.

• has an even proportionately larger head.
