GROUP 1 CASE STUDIES: VERSIONS
Mrs. Teresita Aquino a 31 years old pregnant woman at 36 weeks gestation
admitted to the hospital. The woman is known for having a twin pregnancy and
throughout her pregnancy, she had experienced significant nausea and vomiting.
On examination her blood pressure is 110/80, pulse rate is 80 bpm, respiratory
rate is 18 bpm and fundal height is 41 cm. Ultrasound reveals a concordant
growth of the twin, twin pregnancy with dividing membranes with adequate
amniotic fluid, twins are presenting vertex to vertex, and lastly ultrasound
finding shows consistent with vasa previa.
