Clinical Measurement of Diagonal Conjugate

This document contains two multiple choice questions about female pelvic anatomy. The first question asks for the minimum length of the diagonal conjugate needed to predict a vaginal delivery, with the answer being 8.5 cm. The second question asks for the best definition of the perineum, with the answer being that it is the entire area between the thighs from the symphysis to the coccyx, bounded caudally by the skin and cephalad by the levator muscles of the pelvic diaphragm.
