Cellular change in lower 1/3rd of squamous epithelium CIN 2: moderate dysplasia with high grade lesion. Cellular change in lower 2/3 of squamous epithelium CIN 3 or Carcinoma in situ: severe dysplasia with high grade lesion. Cellular change in full thickness of squamous epithelium
Fibroadenoma Diagnosis and Treatment - Answers - Diagnosis:
Repeat CBC RhoGam at 28wk hg/hct US repeat gonorrhea/ chylamadia Group A beta hemolytic strep culture Diabetes screening - Answers - Done at 24 to 28 weeks gestation. Diabetes screening if plasma glucose is greater than 130 to 140mg/dL Positive screening; hundred G glucose load administered, and glucose values are measured fasting, at one hour, two hours, and three hours. If two of the three values are abnormal a diagnosis of gestational diabetes is made Naegele's Rule - Answers - LMP subtract 3 months, add 7 days Leopold's Maneuvers - Answers - Palpation to determine presentation and position of the fetus and aid in location of fetal heart sounds.

Group B Strep (GBS) - Answers - Group B strep (GBS) is the most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborns, including sepsis, meningitis, and newborn pneumonia. Premature infants have a higher risk of GBS infection, but most cases occur in full-term infants. About half of the cases occur during the first week of life, and most of these cases are preventable by giving intravenous antibiotics to patients in labor who are infected with or at high risk for GBS. Patients with group B strep bacteriuria during their current pregnancy or who previously gave birth to an infant with early-onset group B strep disease should receive intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis. Current guidelines for GBS screening recommend universal prenatal screening for vaginal and rectal group B strep colonization (a culture swab is inserted into the vagina, along the perineum, and into the rectum, and then sent to the lab) of all pregnant patients at 36 0/7-37 6/7 weeks' gestation. It is not standard practice to perform urine screening for GBS. If positive, penicillin is the first-line agent for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, with ampicillin an acceptable alternative if penicillin is unavailable.
