Is the statement 'In septic abortion, shock is due to neurogenic shock' true or false? Is the statement 'Fetal macrosomia is when birth weight exceeds 4 kg' true or false?
Understand the Problem
The question presents two statements about medical conditions related to abortion and fetal development, asking whether these statements are true or false.
Answer
First statement is false; second statement is true.
The final answer is: the statement 'In septic abortion, shock is due to neurogenic shock' is false. The statement 'Fetal macrosomia is when birth weight exceeds 4 kg' is true.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is: the statement 'In septic abortion, shock is due to neurogenic shock' is false. The statement 'Fetal macrosomia is when birth weight exceeds 4 kg' is true.
More Information
Septic shock in septic abortion is typically due to bacterial infection and endotoxin production, not neurogenic shock. Fetal macrosomia is defined by a birth weight over 4,000 grams.
Tips
Confusion often arises because there are different definitions for macrosomia based on weight. Check specific guidelines or criteria being used.
