Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A reason:

This is a mild analgesic and antipyretic. It may be inadequate for moderate pain such as that from cholelithiasis (gallstones).

Choice B reason:

Omeprazole Omeprazole should not administer because it is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production and treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It is not indicated for the treatment of pain and discomfort associated with cholelithiasis.

Choice C reason

Should not be administered

Metoclopramide Metoclopramide should not be administered because it is a medication used to treat gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and gastroparesis. It is not indicated for the treatment of pain associated with cholelithiasis.

Choice D reason:

Ketorolac: This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) appropriate for moderate to severe pain, including biliary colic due to cholelithiasis. It is often used PRN for acute pain relief.

A. Ballottement B. Chloasma C. Hegar's sign D. Chadwick's sign

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

Chadwick's sign. Chadwick's sign is a bluish discoloration of the cervix, vagina, and vulva caused by increased blood flow to these areas during pregnancy. It usually appears around 6 to 8 weeks of gestation and persists until delivery. It is one of the presumptive signs of pregnancy, which are subjective changes that suggest pregnancy but are not conclusive. Ballottement is a technique of palpating the uterus to detect fetal movement when a finger is inserted into the vagina and tapped against the cervix. It can be performed between 16 and 28 weeks of gestation and is also a presumptive sign of pregnancy.

Chloasma is a condition characterized by brown patches on the face that may occur during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It is also known as melasma or mask of pregnancy and usually fades after delivery. Hegar's sign is a softening of the lower uterine segment that can be felt during bimanual examination around 6 weeks of gestation. It is one of the probable signs of pregnancy, which are objective changes that strongly indicate pregnancy but are not diagnostic.
