Fetal Assessment and Monitoring Edapt(with solved
solutions)
What is a normal range for the fetal heart rate? correct answers 110-160 bpm
What does the fetal heart rate and pattern indicate, particularly in response to uterine
contractions? correct answers The fetus's condition
Which of the following variability classifications is generally indicative of fetal well-being?
correct answers Moderate
Drag and drop the correct descriptors for each fetal monitor recording part. correct answers 1st
box (red line):
Ultrasound transducer for fetal heart tones
Fetal heart rate pattern
2nd box (black line):
Tocotransducer for uterine activity
Uterine activity pattern
Which device can assess the intensity of contractions? correct answers Internal fetal monitor
What is the legal responsibility of the nurse in assessment of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns?
correct answers Correctly identify abnormal FHR patterns and notify the healthcare provider.
Select the correct label for each fetal heart rate tracing below. correct answers 1. Baseline
variability
2. Acceleration
3. Deceleration
4. Contraction
When fetal heart rate decreases at the beginning of a contraction and returns to baseline at the
end of the contraction, which condition is occurring? correct answers Fetal head compression
causing an early deceleration
What does a decrease in the fetal heart rate after a contraction peaks indicate? correct answers
Uteroplacental insufficiency causing a late deceleration
The nurse is caring for a client in labor with continuous external fetal monitoring (EFM). Specify
the characteristics that require follow-up by the nurse and those that do not. correct answers
Requires Follow-Up:
Accelerations absent
Baseline rate 170 bpm
Variability minimal
