Continue in vertical overlapping strips until you reach the nipple Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Correct Answer- -Caused by overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria (often from sex) - Discharge: Gray or white, thin, homogenous, malodorous, coats the vaginal walls, usually not profuse, may be minimal - Fishy/musty genital odor -Normal vulva and vaginal mucosa -Scan saline wet mount for clue cells (epithelial cells with stippled borders); sniff for fishy odor after applying KOH ("whiff test"); test the vaginal secretions for pH > 4.5 Candidal Vaginitis Correct Answer- -Cause: Candida albicans, a yeast (normal overgrowth of vaginal flora); many factors predispose, including antibiotic therapy -Discharge: white and curdy, may be thin but usually thick, not as profuse as trichomonal infection, not malodorous - vaginal soreness, pruritus, pain on urination, dyspareunia (painful intercourse) -The vulva and surrounding skin are inflamed and sometimes swollen to a variable extent; the vaginal mucosa is reddened, with white tenacious patches of discharge; the mucosa may bleed when these patches are scraped off; in mild cases, the mucosa looks normal -Scan potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation for the branching hyphae of Candida Trichomonal Vaginitis Correct Answer- -Trichomonas vaginalis, a protozoan; often but not always acquired sexually - Discharge:Yellowish green or gray, possibly frothy; often profuse and pooled in the vaginal fornix; may be malodorous -Pruritus (though not usually as severe as with Candida infection); pain on urination (from skin inflammation or possibly urethritis); dyspareunia -Vestibule and labia minora may be erythematous; the vaginal mucosa may be diffusely reddened, with small red granular spots or petechiae in the posterior fornix; in mild cases, the mucosa looks normal - Scan saline wet mount for trichomonads Syphillis Correct Answer- This ulcerated papule with an indurated edge usually appears after 3 to 6 weeks of incubating infection from the spirochete Treponema pallidum. These lesions may resemble a carcinoma or crusted cold sore. Similar primary lesions are common in the pharynx, anus, and vagina but may escape detection since they are painless, nonsuppurative, and usually heal spontaneously in 3 to 6 weeks. Wear gloves during palpation since these chancres are infectious. s/s of epididymitis Correct Answer- Acute: swollen, and notably tender, making it difficult to distinguish from the testis. The scrotum may be reddened and the vas deferens inflamed. Chronic: firm enlargement of the epididymis, which is sometimes tender, with thickening or beading of the vas deferens.

Measuring a pregnant uterus Correct Answer- With a plastic or paper tape measure, locate the pubic symphysis and place the "zero" end of the tape measure where you can firmly feel that bone (Fig. 19-12). Then extend the tape measure to the very top of uterine fundus and note the number of centimeters measured. s/s gestational HTN Correct Answer- systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mm Hg first documented after 20 weeks, without proteinuria or preeclampsia, that resolves by 12 weeks postpartum. s/s ectopic pregnancy Correct Answer- -Abdominal pain -adnexal tenderness -abnormal uterine bleeding how a Bartholin gland infection presents Correct Answer- Causes of a Bartholin gland infection include trauma, gonococci, anaerobes like bacteroides and peptostreptococci, and C. trachomatis.
