Sample item

What ultrasound finding confirms an intrauterine pregnancy?

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

The answer and the reasoning

A. Yolk sac within a uterine gestational sac

A yolk sac within an intrauterine gestational sac confirms pregnancy location, while nonspecific fluid or decidual change cannot do so alone.

Option by option

  • A. Yolk sac within a uterine gestational sac (correct)

    Correct: yolk sac inside the uterus confirms location.

  • B. Free pelvic fluid alone

    Free fluid may be concerning but does not confirm location.

  • C. Thick endometrium without a sac

    Endometrial thickening is nonspecific.

  • D. Empty bladder on scan

    Bladder state affects views but is not diagnostic.
