Question

A C-Section may be performed for all of the following conditions NOT INCLUDING:

		CPD (Cephalo-pelvic-disproportion).
		Fetal distress.
		Ruptured membranes.
		Herpes.

Answer 1

Here the answer is option C. Ruptured membranes. Spontaneous rupture of membranes are part of normal labor and delivery.

OTHER OPTIONS.

1.Cephalo-pelvic dispropotion (CPD) : The safest option once CPD is diagnosed is to perform c-section. Usually a c-section is planned in advance if doctors diagnose CPD well in advance, however CPD is often discovered only during labor.

2.Foetal distress : Foetal distress indicates foetal hypoxia and acidosis during intrauterine period and it calls for an emergency c-section.

3.Herpes : A c-section is recommended if a woman has an active genital herpes , because it reduces the chance that the baby will be exposed to the virus as it would if passing through the birth canal and contract the infection.
