Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

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.

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Bruising on the head is common in newborns after a precipitous delivery due to rapid passage through the birth canal, causing trauma to the head.

Choice B rationale

Low birth weight is not specifically associated with precipitous delivery but could be related to other prenatal factors affecting fetal growth.

Choice C rationale

Hypotonia is not a typical finding in a newborn after a precipitous delivery, though it could indicate other neurological or muscular issues.

Choice D rationale

Hyperthermia is not a common finding directly associated with precipitous delivery but could be related to other factors or conditions in the newborn.

A. Skin lesions on hands and feet. B. Vaginal or penile discharge. C. Thrush. D. Eye infection.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Skin lesions are not typically associated with gonorrheal infections, they are more indicative of other infections like congenital syphilis.

Choice B rationale

Vaginal or penile discharge indicates a localized infection rather than a systemic issue like neonatal conjunctivitis.

Choice C rationale

Thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida, not related to gonorrheal infection.

Eye infection, specifically conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum), is common in newborns exposed to gonorrhea during birth.
