Sample item

Which mnemonic groups common causes of postpartum hemorrhage?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. Tone, trauma, tissue, thrombin

The four Ts organize postpartum hemorrhage causes into uterine tone, genital-tract trauma, retained tissue, and coagulopathy, helping guide simultaneous evaluation and treatment.

Option by option

  • A. Tone, trauma, tissue, thrombin (correct)

    Correct: the four Ts structure postpartum hemorrhage assessment.

  • B. Skin, stool, sputum, sleep

    These symptoms do not provide a hemorrhage algorithm.

  • C. Pain, pulse, pupil, posture

    The pupil mnemonic is unrelated to obstetric bleeding.

  • D. Air, bone, circulation, diet

    Air and bone do not categorize postpartum hemorrhage causes.
