Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D"]

Explanation

A ruptured uterus is a serious complication that can cause severe bleeding, fetal distress and shock in the mother.

The symptoms of a ruptured uterus may include:

• Sudden onset of severe abdominal paindue to the tear in the uterine wall.

• Loss of uterine contractions or tonedue to the disruption of the uterine muscle.

• Vaginal bleeding (may be minimal)due to the blood loss from the uterine vessels.

• Shock (hypotension, tachycardia, pallor)due to the hemorrhage and reduced blood flow to vital organs.

Normal ranges for blood pressure are 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg, for heart rate are 60 to 100 beats per minute, and for fetal heart rate are 110 to 160 beats per minute.
