Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Open heart surgery is unrelated to the development of vaginal fistulas.

Choice B rationale

Tissue trauma from childbirth can cause vaginal fistulas, as prolonged labor or obstetric interventions can damage vaginal tissue and lead to fistula formation.

Choice C rationale

Diabetes mellitus does not directly cause vaginal fistulas, although it can affect overall tissue health and healing.

Choice D rationale

Preeclampsia, while a serious pregnancy complication, is not a direct cause of vaginal fistulas.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Accelerations are increases in the fetal heart rate (FHR) above the baseline, typically in response to fetal movement or uterine contractions. They indicate a healthy, well-oxygenated

fetus and are not consistent with the described pattern of decelerations.

Choice B rationale

Late decelerations are characterized by a gradual decrease in FHR that begins after the contraction has started, with the lowest point of the deceleration (nadir) occurring after the

peak of the contraction. They are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia, which is not described in the scenario.

Choice C rationale

Early decelerations are a gradual decrease in FHR that mirrors the contraction, starting with the contraction and returning to baseline as the contraction ends. The nadir of the

deceleration occurs at the peak of the contraction, which fits the pattern described.

Choice D rationale

Variable decelerations are abrupt decreases in FHR that can occur at any time during the contraction cycle, usually due to umbilical cord compression. They are not uniform in

relation to contractions and can vary in duration, depth, and timing, unlike the described pattern.
