The Gynaecological Nursing Model Questions Answers is helpful for the applicants in their preparation. Referring to the Nursing old exam paper/model paper helps the candidates in knowing how the question paper is going to be. However, here is an overview of question pattern.

(b) Placenta praevia cannot be diagnosed with ultrasound
(c) The majority of ‘low-lying’ placentas diagnosed at 20 weeks will remain so at term
(d) The patient should be routinely managed under in-patient care with delay of delivery until the patient labours, at which time an emergency Caesarean section will be performed
12. Methods used in identification of high-risk pregnancy:
(a) Use of history as a screening tool in identification of high-risk pregnancy is very sensitive
(b) Use of history as a screening tool in identification of high-risk pregnancy is specific.
(c) The uterine circulation normally develops a very high resistance in normal pregnancy
(d) Low levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) increase the risk of IUGR, pre-eclampsia and stillbirth
13. The prolonged pregnancy: which of the following is true?
(a) A pregnancy is prolonged if e”40 weeks’ gestation is completed.
(b) Perinatal mortality and morbidity starts increasing between 41 and 42 weeks.
(c) Although stillbirth is increased post dates, neonatal illness, encephalopathy and meconium passage and a clinical diagnosis of fetal distress are less common.
(d) Routine dating scans increase the incidence of induction for post dates.
14. In Breech presentation the following is true?
(a) Fetal abnormality is more common in a breech baby
(b) Caesarean delivery is no safer for the term breech baby than vaginal breech birth.
(c) In breech presentation, labour is longer
(d) Breech presentation occurs in 10% of term deliverie
15. The finding related to Types of multiple pregnancy is
(a) Dichorionic twins result from division at 9–13 days
(b) Division before day 3 leads to twins with a shared placenta but separate amnions, MCDA.
(c) All dichorionic twins are non-identical.
(d) Monochorionic twins are always identical.
16. The complications of multiple pregnanc is :
(a) First trimester miscarriage is more common in multiple pregnancy, but late miscarriage is not
(b) In twin–twin transfusion syndrome, with optimal treatment, survival of both twins occurs in 85%.
(c) Childhood handicap is more common with twins.
(d) In the majority of pregnancies, the presenting twin is breech
17. True features of malpresentation include
(a) Labour is often slower and more painful in occipito-anterior position, with back ache and an early urge to push
(b) Extension of the fetal head on the neck, resulting in a large (13 cm) presenting diameter (brow), will still normally deliver vaginally
(c) Vaginal delivery with a face presentation is possible only in the mento-anterior position
(d) Malpresentation is more common in nulliparous women
18. The Induction of labour: which one of the following is false?
(a) Hyperstimulation is more common with misoprostol than prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).
(b) Cervical ‘sweeping’ from/ after 40 weeks reduces the chance of induction and postdates pregnancy.
(c) Absolute contraindications include acute fetal compromise, abnormal lie, placenta praevia or pelvic obstruction such as a pelvic mass or pelvic deformity causing cephalo-pelvic disproportion
(d) The risk of cord prolapse is decreased with induction of labour.
19. Labour/vaginal delivery after a previous Caesarean section (VBAC), which staement is correct:
(a) If vaginal delivery is attempted about 30% of women will deliver vaginally after one Caesarean section.
(b) Emergency Caesarean section is as safe as elective Caesarean
(c) Fetal risks are increased with VBAC.
(d) Caesarean section is less likely in women who have had a previous elective Caesarean section

(a) The incidence of membrane rupture before the onset of labour after 37 weeks is 50%.
(b) Risk of neonatal infection is reduced by vaginal examinations, the presence of group B streptococcus and increased duration of membrane rupture
(c) Induction of labour does not increase the risk of Caesarean section, and is associated with a lower chance of maternal infection.
(d) Erythromycin should be prescribed
