Five (5) major factors predisposed to uterine rupture:

  • A. Previous C-section, uterine scars, fetal macrosomia, trauma, prolonged labor
  • B. Malpresentation, premature rupture of membranes, obesity, malnutrition, anemia
  • C. Uterine fibroids, excessive weight gain, smoking, poor prenatal care
  • D. All of the above
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (A):
1. Previous C-section and uterine scars weaken the uterine wall.
2. Fetal macrosomia (large baby) increases pressure on the uterus.
3. Trauma can cause direct injury to the uterus.
4. Prolonged labor can lead to uterine overdistension and fatigue, increasing rupture risk.

Summary of Incorrect Choices:
B: Malpresentation, premature rupture of membranes, obesity, malnutrition, anemia are not direct factors for uterine rupture.
C: Uterine fibroids, excessive weight gain, smoking, poor prenatal care can contribute to complications but not primary causes of uterine rupture.
D: Not all factors in choices B and C are predisposing factors for uterine rupture, making this choice incorrect.
