Q

•A postpartum patient who is bleeding or who recently has stopped bleeding and is oliguric, should not receive diuretics

Why not?

A

The oliguria is d/t hypovolemia, thus the diuretic will make the volume problems worse.

Q

Any woman with placenta previa and even one previous Cesarean should be delivered in a tertiary care hospital. Why?

25
How should you approach the pre-conception appointment (and many other appointments)?

•Discontinue EVERYTHING, PREFERABLY PRIOR TO CONCEPTION. Exceptions only for Rx provided by you or other physician, and then assess for risk and alternatives.
32
Folic acid should be supplemented for pregnant women, up to 400 mcg/day. This reduces risk of anomalies such as spina bifida by up to 50%. When should the patient start taking this? What should you inform them of as far as toxicities?

minutes only.
40

44
What is a safe dose of alcohol?
None, that is the best chance to prevent FAS.
45
