Question

Find the correct statements:
A. In human pregnancy, the major organ systems are formed at the end of 12 weeks.
B. In human pregnancy, the major organ systems are formed at the end of 8 weeks.
C. In human pregnancy, heart is formed after one month of gestation.
D. In human pregnancy, limbs and digits develop by the end of second month.
E. In human pregnancy, the appearance of hair is usually observed in the fifth month.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer 1

Step 1: Frame the scenario: a confirmed $41$-week pregnancy with no contractions and an unripe cervix needs induction, beginning with cervical ripening.
Step 2: Tools that ripen the cervix and start labour include a mechanical intracervical Foley's balloon and prostaglandins PGE1 (misoprostol tablet) and PGE2 (dinoprostone gel). Each is appropriate.
Step 3: PGF2-alpha, however, acts to relax the uterus in this setting and therefore cannot be relied on to induce labour - using it would be the wrong move.
Step 4: The item that should NOT be done is administering PGF2alpha.
\[\boxed{\text{PGF2alpha}}\]
