Severe preeclampsia at 36 weeks requires delivery (the only cure) along with magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis and antihypertensives.
A 22-year-old woman presents with mucopurulent cervical discharge, cervical motion tenderness, and uterine tenderness. What empiric treatment regimen is recommended by CDC guidelines?
Answer: Ceftriaxone 500mg IM plus doxycycline 100mg BID for 14 days
CDC guidelines for outpatient PID recommend ceftriaxone (for gonorrhea) plus doxycycline with or without metronidazole to cover chlamydia and anaerobes.
A 45-year-old woman undergoes LEEP for CIN 2. Pathology returns with CIN 2 and negative margins. What is the recommended follow-up?
Answer: Co-testing (HPV + cytology) at 1 and 2 years post-treatment
After excisional treatment of CIN 2-3 with negative margins, co-testing at 1 and 2 years is recommended before returning to routine screening.
A 33-year-old woman at 16 weeks gestation has a serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) of 3.2 MOM. What is the most appropriate next step?
Answer: Targeted ultrasound to evaluate for neural tube defects and other causes
Elevated maternal serum AFP (≥2.5 MOM) warrants targeted ultrasound to evaluate for open neural tube defects, abdominal wall defects, or dating error.
A 29-year-old primigravida at 41+2 weeks is in active labor. She has an epidural and has been completely dilated for 3.5 hours with no fetal descent despite adequate pushing. Fetal station is 0. What is this called?
Answer: Arrest of descent
Arrest of descent is diagnosed when the fetal presenting part fails to descend after a defined period of pushing in the second stage of labor.
A breastfeeding mother 6 weeks postpartum desires contraception. Which method is contraindicated?
Answer: Combined oral contraceptive pill
Combined oral contraceptives (estrogen + progestin) are contraindicated in the first 6 weeks postpartum in breastfeeding women due to estrogen's suppression of milk production.
A 55-year-old postmenopausal woman with an intact uterus wants hormone therapy for vasomotor symptoms. What regimen must be prescribed?
Answer: Combined estrogen plus progestin
Women with an intact uterus must receive combined estrogen plus progestin therapy; unopposed estrogen increases the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.
