This chapter has multiple-choice questions on the following topics: Antenatal care,
Abnormal presentations, Sickle cell disease in pregnancy, Multiple pregnancy,
Normal labor, Complications of labor, Operative vaginal deliveries, Cesarean
delivery, Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, Blood sugar derangements in
pregnancy, Infections including HIV/PMTCT in pregnancy, Antepartum
hemorrhage, Postpartum hemorrhage, and the puerperium.
This chapter is divided into two sections. The first sixty MCQs are a selection of
questions that very superficially cover fundamental facts about obstetrics; every
reader should attempt these multiple-choice questions for they test the reader’s
knowledge in terms of understanding and remembering. The remaining 100 MCQs
equally cover obstetrics. They are mainly clinically oriented and require more effort
by the reader and their involvement in the practice of obstetrics. Most of the
questions are therefore targeted at medical students who are doing their clinical
rotations in obstetrics or medical practitioners who attend to pregnant patients.
