AMREF Virtual Nursing School End of Module Two Examination: Antenatal Care, Labour Complications and the Newborn

The end-of-module-two examination for the March 2010 class, sat on Wednesday 23rd March 2011 in three hours. The midwifery items take the gestation at which the fetus begins to gain twenty-five grams a day, the presentation of bleeding in placental abruption, the preventive care given in focused antenatal care, the function of the cytotrophoblast of the chorionic villi, the minor disorder of pregnancy marked by a sudden fall in blood pressure, the interventions that expedite the second stage of labour and what happens to the uterus during a contraction. The newborn block takes colposcopy, the causes of neonatal hypocalcaemia, the stimuli to respiration at birth, Erb's palsy, the definition of the neonatal period, the obstetric events that precipitate disseminated intravascular coagulation and the hormone the early villi produce to maintain the corpus luteum.
