T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or decreases in blood pressure.
True
T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal heart rate: the ultrasound
transducer and the fetal spiral electrode.
True
T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope.
False
T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units, they can be dipped in
warm water to make cleaning easier.
False
T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal heart rate is increased
variability.
True
T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact.
True
T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either external or internal mode and
labeled a test.

True
T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor should always be set at 1cm/min.
False
T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate means of obtaining the fetal
heart rate and contraction patterns.
False
T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up contractions.
True
T/F: The external toco gives measurable uterine pressure.
False
T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of unknown origin is present.
False
T/F: The ultrasound transducer is usually placed on the side of the uterus over the baby's back, as the
fetal heart is heard best there.
True
