Question: 1 / 400

Which condition is associated with the risk of abdominal trauma leading to placental issues?

Hypertensive disorders

Rupture of membranes

The risk of abdominal trauma leading to placental issues is most closely associated with rupture of membranes. When membranes rupture, it can create a change in the environment within the uterus, potentially exposing the placenta or the fetus to increased risk if abdominal trauma occurs. This trauma can disrupt the placental attachment and lead to complications such as placental abruption or hemorrhage.

In contrast, hypertensive disorders can lead to increased placental stress but do not directly relate to abdominal trauma. Cervical incompetence primarily involves issues with cervical support and does not involve the abdomen, thereby not associated with trauma risk. Gestational hypertension affects the mother's blood pressure and may impact placental health, but again, it is not directly related to the exposure to abdominal trauma that could lead to placental issues.
