Poll

At moderate doses (5–10 mcg/kg/min), dopamine primarily stimulates beta-1 adrenergic receptors, increasing heart rate, contractility, and cardiac output. At low doses, it acts on dopaminergic receptors causing vasodilation in renal and mesenteric beds, while high doses (>10 mcg/kg/min) stimulate alpha receptors, producing vasoconstriction. It is not a calcium channel blocker or pure vasodilator.

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an H1 receptor antagonist that blocks histamine’s effects on smooth muscle and capillaries, reducing allergic symptoms such as itching, swelling, and bronchoconstriction. Morphine is an opioid analgesic, Epinephrine is a sympathomimetic used for anaphylaxis, and Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and seizure control—not antihistamines.

OB Complication 2
Which complication is associated with fetal macrosomia?
Poll

Fetal macrosomia—a birth weight over 4,000–4,500 g—often leads to shoulder dystocia, where the infant’s shoulder becomes lodged behind the maternal pubic symphysis after the head delivers. This can cause brachial plexus injury or asphyxia. Prolapsed cord, breech presentation, and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) are unrelated to fetal size.

OB Complication
Which maternal position is recommended for a prolapsed umbilical cord during transport?
Poll

For a prolapsed umbilical cord, the knee-chest position helps relieve pressure on the cord by shifting the fetus off it, preserving blood flow and oxygen delivery. The provider may also use a gloved hand to elevate the presenting part. Supine or semi-Fowler’s positions worsen compression, endangering fetal circulation.
