Premature labor can increase the risk of which of the following complications?

Postmaturity syndrome.

Infection.

Macrosomia.

Maternal hypertension.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Postmaturity syndrome occurs in pregnancies that extend beyond 42 weeks, not in cases of premature labor.

Choice B rationale

Premature labor can increase the risk of neonatal infections due to the underdeveloped immune system of preterm infants.

Choice C rationale

Macrosomia refers to a large newborn, typically associated with prolonged pregnancies, not premature labor.

Choice D rationale

Maternal hypertension can lead to premature labor, but premature labor does not increase the risk of developing maternal hypertension.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in newborns; it prevents maternal immune response.

Choice B rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not damage Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers; it prevents antibody formation.

Choice C rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not stop Rh antibody formation in Rh-positive newborns but prevents it in Rh-negative mothers.

Choice D rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin prevents the formation of Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers, reducing the risk of hemolytic disease in future pregnancies.

Caffeine Intake
- Biophysical: Consuming 2 cups of coffee daily affects the biophysical aspect, as excessive caffeine intake can potentially impact fetal development.
Job (Cashier)
- Psychosocial: Prolonged standing and work-related stress can contribute to psychosocial risk factors during pregnancy.
- Environmental: The physical demands and environment of the job can increase the risk for complications.
Pets (Cats)
- Environmental: Having cats at home poses an environmental risk due to the potential exposure to Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis.
Medical History (Anemia)
- Biophysical: A history of mild anemia and current slightly low hemoglobin levels indicate biophysical risk factors that can impact pregnancy.
