Which factor below confers the lowest risk of ectopic pregnancy?

Prior history of ectopic pregnancy

Intrauterine device use

Incorrect

History of pelvic inflammatory disease

Age less than 18 years

Correct

Explanation:

In an ectopic pregnancy, the developing embryo becomes implanted outside the uterus. A common site is the fallopian tube. Young age (less than 18 years) is not considered a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. The other choices all confer high risk of ectopic pregnancy. Other high risk factors are previous tubal surgery or pathology, and tubal ligation.

A pregnant patient is in her first trimester in October. How should a flu immunization be handled for her?

Do not give an influenza immunization during pregnancy.

Give the influenza immunization after the first trimester.

Give the influenza immunization without regard to trimester.

Correct

Only give the intranasal influenza immunization.

Explanation:

An influenza immunization is considered safe to give to pregnant patients, even in the first trimester. It is considered a greater risk to have the flu during pregnancy than to get the influenza immunization. The intranasal influenza immunization is contraindicated during pregnancy because it contains live virus. Only the injectable immunization should be given during pregnancy.
