She had zero complications, and even with the birth of twins, she felt she was recovering well. The real challenge came when it was time to breastfeed her twins, Silvia and Lynette.

Brenna is a small-breasted woman, and she is worried that she will not be able to feed both of her babies. True or false: Brenna will produce enough milk as long as her babies continue to nurse and stimulate production.

- The following clinical scenario contains (4) choose-between-two options: A 28-year-old mother arrives to your OB/GYN clinic to follow-up on her early trimester pregnancy. She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida). This condition likely resulted from a (folate / purine) deficiency in the patient’s diet. One clinical finding that can confirm your diagnosis is if the patient displays (megaloblastic anemia / Heinz bodies). To decrease the likelihood that her second child develops a similar condition, you should prescribe this patient a (pyrimidine replacement therapy / folate supplement).arrow_forwardTwenty-three-year-old Monica and her husband Bill are ready to start a family.
