Which of the following describes McDonald's Rule regarding fundal height measurement?

• Fundal height (cm) equals gestational age only in the first trimester.

• Between 20–31 weeks, the number of centimeters from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus equals weeks of pregnancy.

• No accelerations, but good baseline variability.

• At least two accelerations (15 bpm rise for 15 sec).

• Only one acceleration in 20 minutes.

• Three late decelerations.

What is the primary purpose of a Contraction Stress Test (CST) as described in the text?

• To wake a sleeping fetus during a test.

• To measure the width of the baby's head.

• To assess fetal well-being and placental function by means of stimulations.

• To determine the Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD).

Which type of fetal heart rate deceleration is characterized by a smooth dip that starts after the contraction begins and ends after the contraction ends, and is caused by uteroplacental insufficiency?

• Klinefelter Syndrome

• Anemia

• Polycythemia

• Pseudoanemia

• Hypervolemia

The normal physiological increase in this blood component serves as a compensatory protective response in pregnancy, despite a decrease in IgG.

• Red Blood Cells

• Platelets
