B. Maternal short stature
C. Low fundal height
D. Maternal cigarette smoking
E. Decreased blood flow in the uterus and placenta


Question 2# Print Question

A 25-year-old primigravida at 34 weeks gestation is thought to be small for dates by her physician and is sent for a sonographic evaluation.

The head:abdominal circumference ratio is > 1. The estimated fetal weight is < 10th percentile for 34 weeks gestation. The amniotic fluid is decreased.

Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

A. Symmetrical Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
B. Asymmetrical Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
C. Congenital anomaly
D. Congenital infection
E. Unknown gestational age
