Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid and is not used for treating ectopic pregnancy.

Choice B rationale

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is used to stimulate ovulation, not to treat ectopic pregnancy.

Choice C rationale

Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic agent that effectively stops the growth of ectopic pregnancy cells, allowing the pregnancy tissue to be reabsorbed by the body.

Choice D rationale

Progesterone supports pregnancy and is not used to treat ectopic pregnancy.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Accidental lacerations are possible during a cesarean delivery, but they are typically managed quickly and are not the most critical issue immediately after birth.

Choice B rationale

Respiratory distress is the priority assessment for a newborn following a cesarean delivery because cesarean births can increase the risk of transient tachypnea or other respiratory complications due to the lack of labor-induced respiratory adaptation.

Choice C rationale

Hypothermia is a concern for all newborns, but respiratory distress takes precedence in the immediate post-delivery period, especially following cesarean delivery.

Choice D rationale

Acrocyanosis is a common and typically benign condition in newborns, not requiring immediate intervention compared to respiratory distress.
