Question

Transcribed Image Text:A 36-year-old gravida 4 para 3 patient presents at her first antenatal clinic visit. She does not know the date of
her last menstrual period. The patient says that she had hypertension in her last two pregnancies. The
symphysis-fundus height measurement suggests a 32-week pregnancy. At her second visit, the report of the
routine cervical smear states that she has a low-grade cervical intra-epithelial lesion.
1. Why is her past obstetric history important?
2. How accurate is the symphysis-fundus height measurement in determining that the pregnancy is of
32 weeks duration?
3. Why would an ultrasound examination not be helpful in determining the gestational age?
4. What should you do about the result of the cervical smear?
